“Dearly Departed, we are gathered here today to disjoin this body from this soul.
If anyone can show just cause why this body should not be separated from its soul, speak now or ever hold your peace. “

John looked at Henry. “Bad day?”

A toothy wide smile directed at him was Henry’s answer.

“How do you feel about decorating the office with heads put up on spikes around the room on the bookshelves?”

“Um,” John paused, “any particular heads and do they have to be real because after a time they’ll stink.”

“Oh, we’d have them professionally done to prevent that problem. And I haven’t determined which heads … yet.”

“Mine?”

“Nooooo, I’ve got other uses for your head … and your body. Stress relief through mutual pleasure. Plus you’re warm and cuddly which a definite plus…. And I love you.”

“Oh good,” John grinned. “I love you too.”

“However… you might not want to hang around today if the computer keeps pausing to decide if it wants to do what I’m telling it to do or I may affix you to the door and throw paperclips at you.”

“Right. I’ll bring you back lunch. Anything you have a yen for?”

“The blood of my enemies.”

“Right. Chocolate something for dessert,” John said leaving the room quickly.

LOL LOVE this. John is made of win, we all need a chocolate provider in times of stress ;)

Um this was me last night, blood of my enemies with just a dash of spice and an ice-cube please. ;)

Do you know how to shoot paperclips using a rubber band as launcher?
Probably not good/legal to actually use but the thought can be comforting.

Writing this helped me today, especially that first paragraph. That and the heads on spikes.

A large class came in unannounced and was released to forage the shelves without teacher intervention. Then they returned books to the shelves... any shelf that was close in some cases.

Then there is the battle of the official ID cards. We accept alternate IDs like folders that monitor their reading or their behavior, and/or their printed form with their classes all of which has their ID # and name. Their folders... some don't have their correct name or ID#. Some have only their first name on the folder. NOT GOING TO WORK! And as for the kid whose first name was misspelled and the next two names (Middle & Father's last name)were not in my circulation list and did not have the other last name at all (hispanic names have surnames of both parents)that would have worked.
We stopped accepting written notes from teachers with student name and ID# after we caught students forging these IN FRONT OF US.
It's a battle. Kids are mentally/physically bouncing. 2 more days til our one week off for Spring Break.

I ended my shift Wed-morning with a wrist full of elastic bands.....paperclips in our office would be stretching things though I could probably find something missile worthy.

Would need practise, not a skill I've mastered.

EEK enjoy your week off! sounds frustrating.

Bad day Charis?

The program I needed to work was being co-opped by others to run a certain intensive report even though they'd been told to wait because it slowed everything down so much.

So.... an irritating day.
