Evidently Zach had his new truck in the shop for an issue with his backup camera, so I was the next best thing. We skated in a few minutes late because of it, and evidently the storms had some things down when we got there. It wasn&#8217;t too long before they had it figured out and we were all up and running, but then Brody had some trouble with testing that almost needed assistance. I ended up being able to do some remote updates that I think helped, because he called us off the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent a large part of the day working on CPPC stuff, but also made time to create a software deployment. Lunch time came around quicker than I realized, and Gary, Thomas and I started for Linhs. Zach pulled back into the parking lot as we were leaving, so I circled around to get him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After lunch, Linda wanted to come chat with me, so I had her meet me in my office. She was upset, as many are, about some of the perceived hiring practices in the district. I tried to ease her mind the best I could, but ultimately I told her that every job has a leader that can ultimately make whatever call they want. There&#8217;s no law about fairness, and it&#8217;s not uncommon for employees to develop a feeling of entitlement over a long period of time with a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even quitting time arrived quicker than I expected. Amber texted me that Eaddie didn&#8217;t have her phone but needed a ride home. Then Eaddie emailed me and said she thought she left it on the bus. I called over to the Transportation office and found it, then picked her up. Autumn had to work right after school, so Eaddie and I went to Burger King at her request. We had a really good conversation that went all over the place, and then we went up the hill so she could change and shower for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We headed back to my house with the expectation that we would start the second season of <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, but she ended up in her room studying all night. I watched a recap of the whole first season that got me stoked enough to rewatch the last episode of the first season. Then Autumn called and wanted to stay home, so I had her pick up Eaddie and we all went to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>So you think superficially going through the motions would make you feel better?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary called me just as I was walking out the door this morning to ask for a ride to work.
