Snow

The snow keeps coming but it is not at the right time of day or not enough snow falling.  We all need a day off so desperately.  This isn't like any other job where each person can get away from everyone frequently.  At the NBA, if someone was getting on my nerves, I just grabbed a pile of slides and went to the back of the library and filed and organized.  At the magazine, I could just take a walk to another part of the office or leave the building and go walking the streets of the city to cool off.  It's not that way in school.  If the kids are getting on each other's nerves, where do they go?  They are faced with seeing each other each and every day in a season where the weather is not conducive to getting out and finding a release. (Heck, due to the dearth of good touring bands, my release is gone too!)  We are all cooped up inside with each other with nowhere to go.

So what is the release?  A punch, a nasty comment.  And I can't really blame them.  I'd feel the same too.  We need a break and we need it soon.  This dinky little one day off tomorrow is not enough.  Tempers are flaring, people are agitated.  It's just tough....  I want a damn snowstorm and I want it at the right time of week and day.
