Happy Freaking Monday

Last night we had a series of Tornado watches throughout the city. Even though the weather has become more mild, I still have my A/C unit in my window. The unit isn't big enough for the entire window, so I have boards and pieces of plastic holding it all together. (Old school, I know) SO, when winds like last night occur, the space between the boards and the plastic and the window form a sort of tunnel, where screaming wind likes to gush through.

Point of story: I woke up every hour from the time I went to bed until 6, when I just couldn't take the pounding and got up.

Needless to say, I rolled into work this morning exhausted. As I walked up the stairs I was greeted by an intern and someone waiting for ESL to start. I proceeded to unlock my door and all of sudden LOUD, blaring sirens began. I didn't know what to do. I knew we had an alarm system, but the only thing I had heard about it was in reference to pop....so I called the number on the system and they asked me the password. Of course I didn't know it, but I started naming different kinds of soda and alas, it worked!

Highs in the 50s, rain, loud winds and alarms. What a way to begin the week!
