Well, my two weeks of Spring Break is almost over. There is a plan to have us “report to work” on Monday, but as of now no one knows what that will look like. We do know there won’t be any students, and we are expected to retrieve our materials in order to attempt to teach our classes from home.
That sounds fine if you work in a normal program, but my students are primarily attendance-challenged, so “work from home” will probably equal them ignoring my emails & playing more Fortnite or other such thing. (I do not play video games.)
Nonetheless, much like Fozz’s late-night rant from yesterday predicted for him, I spent the day in hell cleaning & deciding what to toss & what to surreptitiously hide. At least now I have a semi-clean office in which to cloister every day.
Today’s internet good dog is Peanut, a mutt who loves mudd & obviously hates his owner.

See you tomorrow.
It’s only 1:12AM on the Saturday night of Day Eight of my self-imposed quarantine. I’m good until Day Thirty and then I’m going out and fucking everybody, and coughing on them too.
That being said, since everyone is in quarantine: Say something funny.
Drinking Dark & Stormys & watching “The Crown” with WineWife. The young lady playing Princess Margaret could do with a right rogering.
Finally, an open table.
And yet, no one there.
Just finished episode 4. That should do for tonight. Holy shit.
I want to eat so much sugar I die
Go half way – get a large Slurpee from 7-11.
