Erin’s getting her wisdom teeth out this afternoon. I’m expecting a phone call ~2:30 or 3:00 to tell me to go pick her up and drive her home. Hopefully it all goes well.

Also, I’m playing around with some alternative forum solutions (I’m happy with the comments system at this point) I have one installed on the f2s server, but I’m not enthralled with it. I think I’ll look at another one at some point during this lunch break.

One of the guys at work had a pretty good story yesterday - I’ll recap it here, cause I think it’s pretty funny. We’ll call the guy “Jim” (cause that’s his name :)

Tuesday, Jim’s eight year old son came home from school and told him that there was “some guy in the trees with a gun” at school. Jim didn’t pay much attention, because his son has a pretty active imagination.

Wednesday morning rolls around, and Jim is on the bus with someone whose child goes to the same school as his son. Apparently their child had the same story to report. Jim called his wife, and mentioned that maybe she should find out what actually happened. She called the Vice-Principal (the Principal was away or something) and asked him about it. Apparently the Vice Principal had quite a day on Tuesday.

First thing in the morning, a bunch of kids reported an apparent corpse laying in the field by the school. Upon further investigation, it turned out to be a person laying in the field reading a book - strange in that it pretty cold out at 8:00 in the morning, there have to be better places to read a book than laying in the middle of a field. Anyways, that having been dealt with, a bunch of the students reported the “man in the tree with the gun” during morning recess. Turns out that the “gentleman” in the tree was actually the father of one of the children, his daughter was being bullied at school, so he thought he’d wear a disguise and spy on the kids during recess to find out the story. - He didn’t have a gun by the way.

Now, I’m not claiming that I’m a rocket scientist, but it seems to me that climbing a tree dressed as an old man to spy on children isn’t the wisest of ideas. Certainly won’t have helped out his daughter in any case…
