lots going on
Aug. 17th, 2009 11:35 amFirst day of classes at the Uggaversity, so I have spent the first 4 hours of my day directing misguided students to their classrooms. 95% of time it's the student's error, though a redesign of the class schedule printouts could solve at least 75% of the problems. (They read the building # and think it's the classroom #.)
Also weighing on my mind is the mysterious death of a coworker (not in my department, but I interviewed her for something) this weekend. Results of an autopsy are expected today; foul play may be involved. The death alone would be shocking, but the suspicious nature of it is more so. We've already had our annual quota of bizarre murders in town, you know?
And, of course, the entire web site for my master's degree institution - including Blackboard and the intranet - appears to be down. Hmm, their email is through Google - maybe that's up and I can get in the back way.
In domestic news, Dillo was a total pill this weekend, very unlike him. Grumpy and too rough with me and clingy and throwing things. On the plus side, he had a 100% successful potty weekend, and was 3 for 5 on dry days at school last week.
Casper continues to be actually cheerful and efficient at getting ready in the mornings! She cajoled a new pair of jeans out of her daddy yesterday, and wore them to school with a sundress over them. This is her new look, I am pretty sure self-generated - dress over jeans. Whatever, she picks out her own outfit and is happy with it, so so am I!
