A Verbal Peek at My Day
Pictures would just be too scary! In my "day job," I'm the Director of Student Life and Leadership Development at a very large state college here in Jacksonville. Fall classes start Monday. We started the day with a large concrete column rolling off a forklift and then up under one of my staff member's car. Small car, not small column. One messed up car. And now at this moment, there are more than 100 students in my Student Lounge lined up to get IDs because my ID machine is currently the only one on campus that works (I'm sure I'm probably breaking a fire code there), AND to make matters even more interesting, the construction crew on campus has broken a main water line, leaving the entire campus without water. What do you lose when you have no water? Yes! All the bathrooms on campus are currently locked, AND our air-conditioning system will soon be running out of water in the reserve tank. Florida...August...currently 95 degrees. And it's only 12:30! Yay! Don't you wish you were here!?!

Well, it sounds like you still have your sense of humor intact! But yikes, it's looking like a loooong afternoon. Hang in there!
It can be tough to keep cool (literally) during moments like these. I hope that your next days/weeks/months will go a lot smoother. Good luck!
sounds like things can only go up from Thursday's dooms day on campus. Hope all got worked out over the weekend. If I was in FL I'd buy you a drink...maybe two. wow, what a day!
