New Things in Jen's World

A few things I would like to share with you today... 

First, I went through my first bomb scare today.  Everything is fine.  Our staff did exactly what they needed to do, but it was definitely scary.  Staff was alerted through a message (in code) to tell us that something was happening.  Because the message was in code the staff knew what was going on (and frankly, I was scared out of my mind), and the students didn't have a clue.  So they were just confused about why they couldn't leave or go to the bathroom.  Other staff went through the building looking for anything out of the ordinary.  The whole drill took about 15-20 minutes.  The longer it took, the more worried I got.  To make it worse, the warning we received was not a bomb threat warning (we don't have a code for a bomb threat), it was the warning that an intruder was in the building.  Everything I've seen on the news about school shootings flashed through my head.  All that to say, everything is fine now.  Just a scare that sent my heart racing.  Strange the world we live in now.

Next, today is the last day of school for the next 5 days!!  Woohoo!!  I think teachers get more excited about breaks than students do.  :)  I'm not looking forward to all the grading I have to do over the break, but I am looking forward to a nice little break from work.  Michael is already on break!!  Friday was his last day of school.  KSU didn't have Fall Break this year, so he gets the entire week of Thanksgiving off.  :)  He's been relaxing at home the last couple days. 

Last, I got this from a co-worker.  It explains women and how men end up in the doghouse.  I thought it would be a nice light-hearted way to end this blog that began so seriously.  :)  Enjoy!!
