So 1st period was manageable.
2nd Period was bad. so very bad.
the rest of the day was just plain busy. But somehow the awfullness of 2nd period triggered three really neat little things that made my day all better.
1st, I figured out how to make Excel do something I wanted it to do to save our UIL tabulator some work at the March meet. Now, it is only so smart as i have to use the "ConditionalSum" wizard about 84 times.... instead of just copying the formula down and changing the one piece of information...but hey, I figured out how to make it do something complicated (total the points for a school for each place they win in each grade level for about 21 contests...)
I was quite proud of myself.
2nd, two carts of "dell" boxes rolled down the hallway--it appeared to be many new computers? I asked myself, is it possible the teachers are about to get new computers. Rumor says it is true--with FLAT PANEL monitors!!!
3rd, at the last minute I heard about another wine and dine math textbook dinner (ADOPT OUR TEXTBOOK PLEASE) schmooze. Well lo and behold, not only did i get to enjoy a free meal with a free cosmopolitan, but I won a t.v. The one drawing they did. Is it something about having a hard to pronounce last name? has my luck turned? I don't know, but we now have another t.v. Now Josh can quit wining about wanting to move his computer to the living room. The second t.v. can move to the office :-) Tis quite terrible really...but hey, we don't always agree on what we want to watch... We even cleaned up the office a bit and there's room for the t.v.! Crazy!
