Well, the "addendum" might be faux (who knows? I stopped asking long ago
) but we've just lost another day of meeting.
So I'm sitting in the wood shop with a group of the mechanical team who were fiddling with a starter motor, sparks flying every so often. One of them comments jokingly: Gee, wouldn't it be ironic if (Principal's name here) walked in and thought it was something dangerous?
A few minutes later, the fire alarm sounds, and we're all outside in the pouring COLD rain, talking about what we accomplished the night before at the meeting.
20 minutes roll by, and we're corraled around the school to the auditorium, where we're told that the buses were coming and that we could return at 2 to get our stuff. This is 11AM, and I've been home ever since.
Noone really knows what happened, but our regular meeting was cancelled, with a small meeting of the mechanical team happening elsewhere. So now I'm meetingless, I dont know if I have rehearsal tonite, we were supposed to have an interview with the local paper (who knows when we can get that rescheduled), and...my stuff is still in the wood shop.
Is everyone else having as many school problems as we? How did you deal/work around it?
Ok, thanks everyone for letting me vent.
