Amazing.

Actually managed to have a talk with the minor IT person that did /not/ involve them treating me like an idiot. I think I just heard angels sing.

In other news, I have a headache. Did not sleep well, last night, due to major temperature issues (I swear, I need an electric blanket with both heating /and/ cooling, in order to get the perfect temperature.) Don't remember my dreams, I think my sleep was too fractured to really have any good ones.

Looking forward to the start of school, really, although it looks like I'm going to be /slammed/ with school visits for work. Might end up being something like 8 or 10 schools, mostly up in Oconee county. I'm not turning my nose up at the extra money, but I hope my car holds out. On the bright side, it's a great way to rack up hours, so maybe I can bank some for a couple of nice sized vacations in May and July. Or June. Whenever I don't have the multi-cultural course.

Notes on things to do:

1. Get fingerprinted.
2. Fill out Practicum Application.
3. Renewal FAFSA
4. Start pulling articles for Independent Study.
5. Pay Rent.
6. Buy Books.

Electric blankets with a "chill" option would be awesome.

They would be pure love!

Fuzzy, cool, refreshing love! Like lemon mousse, except easier to sleep in.

...and certainly less difficult to clean up!

(Although sleeping in lemon mousse might be interesting.)

Interesting in the tasty, tasty sense. Mmmm. Lemon mousse.

My wife would think you insane. In the middle of summer, she burrows all the way under the covers until nothing is exposed but part of her face. If she could forego breathing oxygen I think she would vanish entirely.

Of course, in the middle of winter I sleep with my arms and shoulders out. If I'm too warm I sleep badly. So I entirely understand.

Lynne's theory is that it has to do with what time of year one was born, and therefore whether one was swaddled a lot or not as an infant. I'm not sure I buy it, although it certainly explains the two of us.

*giggles* I prefer to burrow, but can't sleep if it's too hot. Which leads to odd situations such as opening the windows to the winter air, and then piling on blankets.

I think circulation, metabolism, and fat content have a lot to do with it, too. Some people generate more heat than others, y'know?

Clearly your IT person is an imposter. Quite possibly a pod person. Or an evil traitor to the IT workers code!

Nah. I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon. It's just that this particular issue has been giving them /so/ many problems that it's temporarily popped the balloon of their smug superiority.

Get fingerprinted?

Hee. Background checks are required before one can work in the schools. :)
