Ready To Get Plastered

As if the struggle to get exams and essays graded, and final grades calculated and submitted by Tuesday morning, were not enough, the university has scheduled my department for wall repairs beginning Monday.

Jordan Hall, where my office is located, has had issues for decades with leaky roofs and bulging and crumbling walls. So I’m thankful that repairs are being done, but would have preferred not to have to be concerned this weekend to put away all loose papers and move books.

The office is ready, I think. I just hope I don’t discover on Monday that some sheet of paper I need in the grade-calculating process is still at the office.

I even took my Matrix and Star Wars posters down from the wall (they were there, above all else, to hide the cracks and bulges).

So there you have it – I think my office wall is ready to get plastered.
