Where'd Summer Go?

Good luck to all the students and instructors out there. I know most of us are starting back tomorrow (or soon after if we haven't already). I want to know where my summer went. It flew away without me.

Oddly even though I'm starting tomorrow teaching a class I've never taught before in a full time job none the less I'm not nervous. Nor am I excited. I'm oddly detached from the whole thing which has me a little worried. I'm not even angry over the fact that my computer's D drive is still glitching and the thumb drive can't be read (or maybe I don't know what i'm looking for. I've never used one before). Me, not getting at least a little steamed up is strange.

Not liking this. I couldn't even work up interest in pressing my dress clothes. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a new attitude.

the little annoyances

last night a cold front came thru so I wanted to turn off the a/c and open the windows, even sacrificing some clean wooden spoons as window stoppers (I'm not too keen on having a bed near window at a level anyone could reach into). Problems:
A) nothing I do makes the a/c fan turn off, not even turning it to off (that made it cycle MORE) so I cranked it up to 90 so it wouldn't kick on

B) open windows = MUCH more road noise

C) it smelled like a family of skunks were living outside my bedroom window (entirely possible since it doesn't normally stink here)

So, in spite of it only being in the 50's, I'm shuttered up in the house since I just gave up on the idea.

In ironing my pants for work, I noticed my new and much loved silk/linen slacks have gone to that bally-snaggy thing in the crotch and other wear points. ARGH. Surely clothes should last more than a few months! Well I'll go with the thought no one should be looking up there any how.

And on that sordid note, wish me luck that all the media works, that I can figure out the powerpoint projector and I don't do something embarrassing oh and that there's a working clock in the classroom since I can't really wear watches.
