BP 5/9
Ugh, so I wrote up a blog post on the 8th around 3AM, but I didn't hit the publish button so we are going to push it to the 9th.
So I'm going to give you a long update on all the stuff that's been going on.
1) I have work for you to do -- sign up and start creating it will be due next Friday the 18th.
2) I've gotten a few emails from ya'll about grades, it's on my to-do list, I promise. You know I'll fix them when I get back. If it makes you feel better, I have about 40 flagged emails that I need to take care of on Thursday.
3) Now for the update from the life of me. I will be back on Thursday. The short version is that I had to take Alex to the Doctor on Thursday afternoon, which led to a trip to the ER on Thursday Evening/Friday morning. Didn't get home till around 3AM, so Erika and I took Friday off... fast forward to Sunday, I'm not feeling well like I feel bad, so I take off Monday. Still not feeling better, so I take Tuesday off too and go to the doctor, turns out some little kid from the children's ER gave me Strep Throat. So I'm in "quarantine" for 48 hours after my first dose of medicine. Meaning, I'll be back better than ever on Thursday.
So there you have it. BAM!

May the Fourth Be With You!
Excuse my poor joke, I am actually writing this blog at 2:29 in the morning in preparation for not being at school. The Mrs. and I had a late night trip to the Emergency Room. No worries, everyone is alright, and I'll tell you about it on Monday, so don't worry.
That being said, due to the hour of the post, I'm probably not going to be checking email or anything until around noon. Maybe.
I do have several points of work for ya'll to do.
1st and 2nd Block -- Both of you have to setup the VR headsets in Ms. Hocutt's room. She's doing a field trip to France. I'm not 100% confident in the fact that you can do it flawlessly, but if you follow the directions on the paper on the HD bench (near the phone), I have 98% confidence in your ability to problem solve it and get it to work.
We've talked also this week about the new Help Desk Handbook we will be working on. I'll go into further detail on Monday, but here's the link for the sign-ups. It's a first come first serve thing. Each of you at the moment will be responsible for one. I'm still looking to add ideas to this.
Lastly, and certainly not least, here's today's blog. I thought it was funny. I hope you enjoy it too.

Again... only click if you've seen it... Link
