Friday is coming

Oh, we are all shaking our heads about this. I guess they could have had us go back Thursday. When we start in the fall we usually start with a Thursday and Friday.

That would have been nice.

I still got a lot of rest. That is a plus.

@GardenGerty .......Yes, it sure is. I like to sleep.

@GardenGerty .........It really is.

I know, many of us thought so. Maybe I could do a "snow dance" and get a snow day out of it.

@GardenGerty I would be surprised if FSDB tried to pull that. They likely wouldn't waste the money and recorceses to bus the kids back for a day only to have to turn around and send them back. It's a boarding school.

@GardenGerty It will. Florida will see lower-than usual temps, but parts of it will only be midly effected.

We seem to be doing pretty well. Catching up on appointments and such.

@GardenGerty Glad to hear it.

@GardenGerty I've had both eyes done. My husband still needs one done.

Supposedly this is so we can get out earlier in May, but why? Oh, and the building was a bit chilly in spots anyway because some of it is central heat and air, some of it is boilers. We have different wings built in different decades.

@MarieCoyle We started after Labor Day, I believe, and went until the end of May.

@GardenGerty when I was a kid, the first day of school was after Labor Day, and the last day was early June. Now the schools start earlier and end later.

There are many ways I feel it is not cost effective, but we have to get back to it, so we get out in the middle of May.

@FourWalls They always schedule in some snow days and we are getting them this year.

@GardenGerty — if the goal is to ensure a mid-May end of year, then it would seem to me that they’d be in session on January 2 as well. You never can tell about the weather, and TWO extra days to rely on would be better than just one!

Maybe next year, or at least find some way to work from home.

I think we needed the reset. Of course our maintenance and custodial staff will have worked some of the days. They will be trying to sanitize everything and kill off that nasty bug everyone got.

@GardenGerty Yes, they will enjoy having the space to clean things quickly and efficiently. We have friends that used to both work as janitors in the schools. She was at the high school in the village and he was at the grade school. They used to talk about how nice it was when the students were on a break, they could clean and wax floors and have everything shiny and clean for when classes resumed. Happy New Year Heather.

It did get us some enforced rest, though.

Oh, me too. Also glad I had time off to fully recover and relax.

We will probably go to bed early. I am beginning to practice getting up for work again.

Thursday would have made more sense to me.

@just4him I thought it always did here as well, but that would have been too quick after New Year's celebration.

@GardenGerty Schools always start on Thursday here. Unless it's the holiday.
