What is it now? Three weeks since we were forced from our pathetic little "cabin" as the students sometimes refer to it, into the second grade classroom because of the Eau de Fowl wafting from the air vents? Oh, and don't forget--larvae.
Some workers came over and disconnected the air units on the roof and lifted them out of the way. One day I saw other workers on the roof with buckets...don't know what they did. Just last Thursday some workers came in and re-connected the air units and my room has been mysteriously vacuumed--the carpet at least--but my desktop is covered with...debris--dirt, crumbs of paint from the ceiling (I guess from workers walking on the roof) and feathers. The stench is unchanged. Hmmm.
I asked the secretary what she knows. In a nutshell: nothing. I'd be embarrassed to be the head secretary and give an answer like that.
In four days, we must move out of our present room. But we cannot move into another room because there will still be students in it. Somehow, we must overcome the time/space continuim and have our materials out of the second grade room before the second graders return, but not yet into the new borrowed room until those students depart...hmmm.
"Traditionally, literature makes much of the beauty of fleeting things and the delight of the bittersweet mixing of pain and pleasure. But no one ever said that heaven was seasonal or fleeting. Heaven is always portrayed as blissfully monotonous, one bright blue day after another forever and ever. Rather like California."
