"Go look at the cupboard door", he said, enticingly.
Boss directed us to look at the cupboard door in our breakroom that serves as a bulletin board of sorts. Intrigued, the three of us, Mango, Sarge, and I, went to the cupboard. Clearly, none of us had paid any attention to it earlier.
But there it was. An invitation to a baby shower. A baby shower for Kitty. Alas, Kitty is pregnant!
Okay, THIS sheds a little light on the reason Kitty is joining our campus earlier than expected/ necessary - and maybe why Boss was avoiding talking about it before now.
I won't bore with details, but suffice to say that GrandBoss is a good guy and is helping Kitty out since she's wanted to work primarily at our location for a long time. I've said it before, I don't always like working with GrandBoss, but I like working for him.
I'm happy for Kitty. She's mid-thirties and has eluded to her biological clock ticking getting louder.
In other clock ticking news, the semester is winding down. One more week of panic before finals. I've had a crew of nice tutees this semester, and I think they'll survive.
Speaking of teaching and learning, recall that I've been fantasizing about getting a tablet I can draw directly upon. I've picked one out, but haven't shelled out the cash for it.
In the meantime, I've been playing with my little Wacom tablet that I've primarily used for online tutoring.
Figuring out the tools and quirks of using it for digital art play is fun/ frustrating.
And lastly, a Penny update. She seems to be progressing out of the slugfest she's been on since Wednesday.
She's not yet 100%, and there's still no clue as to what turned her into a granny dog overnight. But she seems to be getting her appetite back and not being such an old lady.
