Day 202 of 365: Back to reality

Great way to start a Monday morning back to work after essentially 2 weeks off. Bleh.

Day 90 of 365: Rainy days and Mondays always get me down....

This was my rear view on the way to the running shop tonight. Lots and lots of rain causing lots and lots of traffic. I just liked the effect of the rain and the mirror and the headlights.

Day 84 of 365: TIME!

Been at work already 6 1/2 hours. I still have another 6 hours to go, too. *Sigh*

Day 47 of 365: Autumn is here!

I saw this scene as I drove to tutoring this afternoon and decided to come back and photograph it. This is along Park Bridge Parkway that is about a quarter mile from my apartment. I have gone running along this road in the past (there's a paved sidewalk on the right, there) but I don't like the killer hills or the fact that the sidewalk is very uneven. I'm so paranoid I will fall and twist an ankle on it!

I like the light in this photo. It's about 5:00pm and you can really tell that it is changing to full-on Autumn. This is also part of my morning route to work. It's usually speeding by me at 60mph at that point, though! Uh, I mean, I totally respect the speed limit wherever I drive....

Day 41 of 365: My School (Not quite as exciting as cock soup, though)

Here's the entrance to my school where I teach! It's fairly standard design for all the schools around here. In fact, I worked at another local middle school down the street before coming here, and it has the exact same layout, only mirror image! It took some getting used to when I first came here, especially since my room was on the same hallway as it was before. I still sometimes get turned around if I'm not thinking!

There are a few parents milling about the breezeway there. They are on the beautification committee, I believe. They were discussing whether or not to put in pavers (stone steps) leading to the grass from the sidewalk and if they thought the kids would actually use them! I'm pretty sure they wouldn't!!

Day 24 of 365: My good buddy Gestetner

We are practically dating. I see him everyday (except weekends!) and I've seen him inside and out! I've touched him all over and comforted him when he wasn't feeling well and ate my papers. Sometimes, I've cursed him and hit him, but I always apologize. :)
