Today was the last orientation group that Melinda and I had to orientate. There are positives and negatives to this:
Positive: I look more professional when I'm not eating a sno-cone while speaking.
Negative: No one will give me free sno-cones anymore.
Positive: I can take a real lunch break.
Negative: I don't have a reason to go buy frozen yogurt in the union anymore.
Positive: I don't have to listen to 80 different students all tell me the same story of how their situation is "unique."
Negative: I can't run away to meetings and instead must listen to the stories of our unique co-workers. ;)
I was greeted this morning with ten very friendly sunflowers. Now, Meg Ryan says that daisies are the friendliest flower, and I usually agree. But these sunflowers are particularly winsome looking. I think they might beat out the daisies.
You be the judge: Which one's friendlier?
Kenley brought them to me in a lovely mason jar that says:
"Flounder's Chowder House
High Grade Diesel Fuel- Caution, highly flammable."
And then, below- I kid you not:
"On Beautiful Pensacola Beach."
I find this puzzlingly and wretchedly ironic.
