Back to the Grizzind.

The first week back at school was pretty brutal. I was operating on about 4 hours of sleep per night due to my unhealthy approach to holiday break. There were also some mildly amusing things that happened at work:

1) Staff meeting--semi-stable teacher sits down next to me with a gold gift bag. I joke to my other friend that it's probably full of drugs. So then, I have to look in it. It's filled with a banana and every kind of diet pill under the sun. She spends the meeting devoting equal time to sketching her wedding dress for her pending nuptials, and getting up randomly while people are talking so that she can use a computer.

2) We are having Open House tours today, so we had another meeting to figure out how to corral 600 parents and then give them a tour. About 4 buildings make up our campus. Each member of the math department was drawing maps (to scale) and was fretting over how we were going to walk from one building to the next. Then we were informed that we'd have walkie talkies. Chaos broke out.

3) Some famous writer/producer showed up at school in his yellow Lambo. Taking up two parking spots, of course. Looked like a total slob and gave me the creeps. I will add more, as I'm sure this story will develop.

Not much else is going on. I took it easy this weekend and stayed in both nights. Went surfing on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
