I had two hours of comp time to use this morning and it was WONDERFUL to go to work late. I had a chest delivered to replace the defective one I bought in December. Then I finished these socks and mailed them to Kath who lives in a small place with a huge Indian name. Then ... all relaxed I went to work.

Once at work, I learned that the teacher of three-year-olds quit. I like her and will miss her but it didn't concern me that much. Until. Later, I was told that she had been paid her two weeks notice and told to go home. I will be replacing her, I learned. No longer am I relaxed. This is supposed to last only two weeks but you know how that goes.
