Howdy Blogroonies -

Today was one of the most interesting days of my life - my whole life!!

Here it goes.... At about 8:15 am I went to my chairman's office to chat... We were chatting when one of my colleagues came into my off as mad a wet hen.... she was upset because she perceived that someone in administration was impeding her work on a pet project... she was starting to yell at my boss and she was shaking she was so mad.... I stood up and said that I would leave the two of them alone.........she turned around and grabbed me by the shirt and yelled at me that I would not leave, that I would stay right here and listen to what she had to say....she then proceeded to physically slam dunk me back into my chair and against the wall so hard that the student worked and administrative aide in the next room were worried about whether or not I was hurt...... she proceeded to yell at my boss until she had nothing else to say and stormed out of the office to go yell at someone else............ I have whipped up on by a 50 something year old women........never underestimate the power of an angry women.

I then went to my office and hid until class time and avoided that person for the rest of the day...classes went well and I came home......

This is my day to cut the grass at church and so I drove to the shed where the gas cans are kept and put one in the back of the truck and went to hitch up the trailer..........

As I approached the deck on the drive way I noticed that the trailer was not where it was in the morning when I went to work..........in fact, it was no where to be found.... it was missing, stolen, gone..... I called Sandy and Jason to make sure they had not loaned it to someone...the had not. I was beginning to worry....... All in all the damn thieves stole my trailer, weed wacker, two propane tanks, my truck ramps, and a garden too.... (the police man said he was surprised the took the garden too, it was too much like work)..........

I did call the police (sheriff where I live in the county) and he made a report and the trailer will be put out on AFIS the national stolen vehicle system.......good luck...........

Well I can tell you that is sad that people are so jealous of other's that they will just drive up and take stuff....... between the time Jason left and I got home was about 2 hours...... I am afraid to leave the house unprotected...........

Well later, Sandy and Jason and I went to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner........on our way out, we saw Dennis and Marie and Dave and Janie eating.............

And then Sandy and I went to a meeting were we heard a presentation by Sam on the Edge being in partnership with Cherokee Church..........

Two hours later we came home and I am writhing a blog.......

I am seriously thinking about filing a harassment complaint against my colleague

Students are taking on-line quizzes today (last count is I have 51 in my on-line class) and around 40 in each of the other in class sections of MIS and 10 graduate students....another walk in the park..

So, I am going to drink a glass of wine and think about this day and pray for guidance..

God bless all of you and remember, take good care of yourself, cheers, john

What a day! I am sure that your 50 old attacker could be in a lot of trouble. I hope she has the sense to apologize as soon as possible. As for your trailer etc. I am so sorry! I hope you enjoyed the wine!!
Love.

What a day, indeed! I'm trying to imagine the same thing happening in my department. I can . . . and I can't. The trailer? We had our van stolen once when we were in a shop just a few feet away. What a terrible feeling! (Warning: Lame comment ahead!) Tomorrow is another day, obviously, and hopefully life will be better.

was NOT a good day indeed. There was no reason for her behavior towards you, we can hope she doesn't do that to her students. I have been in a few meetings like that at work myself, but nobody touched anyone, just screamed. We wouldn't dare, you would be out the door so fast, you wouldn't even have time to get your coat
