Simple things that make me happy.

...power failures. Who would have thought that I'd ever actually be happy when the power went out? Certainly not me, what with my highly technological bent (even Giant Robots that are powered wholly by mysterious, quasi-nuclear technology like to fool around with Earth computers). And yet, here I find myeslf, quite enjoying a few hours to curl up with a nice book...and without a dozen or two hormonal teenagers.

And I'm certainly not alone in this feeling...one might even assume that the old joke kids used to put around about PD days being excuses for teachers to have parties is entirely true. A look at Facebook for my co-workers yesterday would have confirmed this...it's a hard sell as to who was more excited about the unexpected day off yesterday, students or teachers.

On the other hand...this is getting a _little_ bit ridiculous, with the 3rd mechanical failure in less than 3 weeks. Let's hope this ridiculous winter is nearing an end...

Giant Robots, filled with backup electricity, and no diesel fuel pumps whatsoever.
