Small Wonder(s)

Today is Bring Your Spawn to Work Day!

HURRAY!

That about sums up today. :) 13 out of 23 kids present, so we had a "fun" day of multiplication games, Earth Day stuff, and movies. Scooby Doo, popcorn, and Carpi Sun.

And then...

A tornado warning. At 3:15. FUN!

Nothing like 700 kids, ducking and covering in a sweaty hallway for 10 minutes. "It's a drill!" we kept telling them, knowing by the looks of the sky and the pounding rain and thunder that it was a lie. I have to wonder why we make the kids duck and cover. I'm certain that if a tornado came crashing through the school and ripped off the second floor, the old duck and cover isn't gonna, well, cover it. Just a thought. Not to mention that these poor kids, 4-5 deep, basically had their heads buried against the shoes or butt of the kid in front of them. Thank god it wasn't bean burrito or western chili day!

In other (albeit random) news, I had an interview at a local Archiver's store today, for a summer job. Went well and was told to expect a call for a second interview next week. Many co-workers are wondering why I am seeking a summer job. They don't get it -- Archiver's wouldn't be a job! I'm excited about the possibility of helping others design their memories. Second interview next week! Cross everything. ;)

And yes, I realize that my paycheck will likely go right back to them... at least there's a discount!
