White-out conditions, Snickers, and installing Adobe...

In my last post I stated that in the average day, adults make around 35,000 decisions.  Today, installing Adobe on a computer in our building, took up about 34,000 of those!

One of the many hats that I wear every day is technology person.  The teachers do great job of problem solving, but if they or another "techie" teacher in the building can't figure it out, they will ask me for help.  You would think that installing Adobe should be easy.  WRONG!  I'm sure it was the computer and not the computer user (me) that made it more difficult! :)  But after waiting 30 minutes for the darn thing to download, we now have Adobe in the lunchroom.  Now if only I could get the new computer to connect to the network printer......  Maybe next week.

One of my other favorite things about my job is when there is bad weather.  I do not make the decision to get out of school early.  As a private school, we are reliant on the public school to make that call and then let us know.  I don't know how many times I get e-mails or phone calls about, "is school going to get out early?"  I have to respond, "I don't know."  Then I usually get an ear full about how bad the roads are and that it is a safety concern.  Just smile and nod is my motto.

Lastly, Alanis Morrisette says, "Isn't it ironic?"  Ironic moment of the day:  Snickers, the school's guinea pig, passed away two weeks ago.  He was the Ruley family guinea pig until last year.  Snickers cost me $35.00 when I purchased him.  Snicker's final medical expenses came in the mail today:  $40.  Ironic?
RIP Snickers.
