Grades are done for the first quarter. The computer glitches finally got ironed out, or at least made serviceable for the time being. I can now go back to the day to day grind of making a living teaching small human beings. I actually had a positive moment with an often intractable student today. I actually had several. On the other hand, another one probably got herself kicked out of class by the sub, who doesn't take any crap from anyone.
We have had a request for a 4-hour presentation for Saturday, with what I think of as pretty short notice. Like four days. It's not clear when exactly the members of this team are actually supposed to meet about this thing. Perhaps sometime between 4:00 and 7:00 am.
It is getting noticeably chilly here. OK, cold. There is a meteor shower tonight, and it's supposed to be good, but my interest is a little on the marginal side given the prospect of going outside in the early hours of the morning. Hell, I'm cold just sitting here...
The presentation thing is annoying. I'm working on a PP. I still like my Dawn the doubter and Chet the the cheerleader approach. It will get us a few laughs and then we won't actually have to say much at the actual presentation. Please. We can set it to music!
