Still alive.

I think that pretty much sums up how I feel at this point on Friday afternoon, and boy am I glad it's Friday!

Registration was due this week for the Silent Weekend I am assisting with, and I had to place the shirt order on Thursday so we can have them back in time for our big event. Talk about blood, sweat and tears! Wednesday night there were still six schools I had not heard back from. Two of the six had not confirmed if they were even coming or not. Aaaaargh! Fortunately, I finally got responses from everyone, the shirt order is in (some of the sizes are guesses), and I feel like I'm finally regaining some semblance of being on top of things at school. Oh, and did I mention that midterm grades were due on Tuesday? I got a visit from the computer guy at school during 4th period asking me why I hadn't sent my grades in yet...

It always helps to keep a sense of humor at times like this. Sometimes the administration unwittingly provides a laugh. We got matching faculty shirts last week, and were told that a group faculty picture would be taken at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday morning (15 minute earlier than we are really required to be there). In an attempt to pacify us, we were told we could leave at 2:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday instead of being required to stay until 3:15. I always think it's funny when they do that, because the teachers who were planning on leaving early were going to leave early anyway, and the shmucks who didn't have their midterm grades done last week (me) will be there late getting them sent in regardless of what time we have been given permission to leave.

So--Happy Friday to all, and to all a good night!
