What a week!
Wow, this has been a fun one….
Monday, Brittany started the great adventure known as middle school. She had a great day and was excited to head back on Tuesday. Well, Monday night we get a recorded message call from the superintendent of the Volusia County telling us that due to Tropical Storm Fay, school was canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Britt was a little unhappy about this (probably less than she showed, she is a good actress when she wants to be).
Keli’i was off Tuesday to go to the dentist, so Britt didn’t have to be home all alone all day. I had to go to work. I get there and around 11 am the rumors start to fly that we’re going to be let go early and we aren’t going to have to come in on Weds. Of course, it was my birthday, so at the end of the day, before we were sent home, they presented me with a cake that we were going to have at 4 in the afternoon. There was no time to divvy it up before vacating, so I got to take the whole cake home with me
Wednesday, Britt and I stayed home. Keli’i reluctantly went to work. I was working, just did it from my home computer, took a nice long break for lunch and a nap, I like that! I get so much more done at home, that is when the website I need isn’t down! Britt was more excited today by the news of school being canceled for Thursday (this reaction was more like I had expected Monday night). Of course, the storm slowly moved around the area. I think when I went to bed we were in the eye of the storm, and it was pretty much in the same place when I got up Thursday morning.
Thursday it was back to work. I had hoped they would have come to their senses and tell us to stay home. But we are getting ready for orientation (which was supposed to be Weds/Thurs and was moved to Fri/Sat). The rains started pretty early as we moved out of the eye of the storm. It was bad at work, the building they have us housed in (still displaced by the tornado from Christmas 06) is not equipped for that many people and wet floors. I almost biffed like 3 times, twice on the stairs, because the floors were so wet. By 1:30 the rumors started up again, and at 2 we got the email sending us home again. Sucks to be all the freshman kids trying to get in to take care of business early.
So tomorrow Britt is off school again, and the earliest they’ll have us coming in is 10am. And that is weather permitting. For a fairly weak storm, we sure are getting lots of time off of work. It’s a soaker though, that is the reason they let us leave early today. They didn’t want us flooded out of our homes and camping out on campus :p
We all knew when they rescheduled orientation we’d be working Sat, but now it’s not going to be OT
oh well, I’ll just have to work more from home to get the OT
And there is my update. Until next time I decide to update (possibly check back in October :p) .
