Means you are spiking a fever. I always had that happen with bronchitis or pneumonia

I was absolutely fine until this morning when I woke up with a head ache, then I started getting body soar around 4 and feverish around 6 or 7, so hopefully it will just be a quick 24 hour thing. Especially since I have my first team video conference tomorrow.....
 
Couple of nice adjuncting wins today. Both very minor, but those are the wins you can get.
1. Managed to get my exams printed at the school's copy center. System wanted me to use my DMACC computer. Of course, with no office, I don't have one, so I worked through the one in "my" classroom before anyone arrived.

2. Since I teach in a building that doesn't usually house liberal arts classes, or anything but culinary classes, the classroom door is always locked. Today, they gave me a key.

On the flip side, one of my more panicky students sent a frantic e-mail fearing that she left her study guide attached to her quiz. I responded within minutes of her e-mail, but realized something that I wouldn't have known in her shoes. She mentioned that she could come in at any time to get it. She doesn't realize that I have no office. My plan was simply to photograph everything and e-mail her (the documents, people, the documents).

All that said, I'm amazed that schools get away with an arrangement like this. There oughta be a better way, but it's cheap, so here it is.

I think I saw this was in the works but not officialyet...congrats on getting money again!

When our oldest was born, we were at the in laws and one of their friends dropped a gift off and left. MIL said that her friend said we’d like it. Wife made me sit by her as she opened it. It was an Iowa onesy. I looked and said “jimmy” is never wearing that. MIL started to get upset. Wife showed it and then the uneasiness happened. One public U diploma in the room at it sure as heck wasn’t from Iowa. MIL said they assumed I was a hawk fan, didn’t know I graduated from ISU. Thing never was worn.

But it would have been a great burp cloth/emergency wipe!
