jdmkleinTalking to Mother right now is so frustrating. I am trying to maintain my composure and not say the nasty things that are on the tip of my tongue. She seems more concerned about getting a damned roast in the oven than she is about unplugging her stupid caller i.d. thing so I can talk to my daughter and my mother. I know I know, it is not about me. Bah!
Today went very well at school. The phones in our offices were out of order. There is some construction going on outside our building. A new parking place is being made for the college of law. I wonder if perhaps the construction workers hit a buried phone line. We had five Egyptian men come in and lift up the receiver and say why yes the phone is dead. DUH! On the one hand it was nice not to have to be bothered by phone calls, on the other, it was a pain in the patoot not to be able to pick up the phone and get the information needed.
We have no word yet about the closing of the university. Perhaps the Rector will make his decision before the end of the war, or the semester, whichever comes first. One of my teachers is back, two are still gone. One keeps asking if the uni will close, he will come back if it stays open, but doesn't want to sit around doing nothing if it closes. I keep telling him to stay in Nottingham, enjoy the spring weather. He keeps asking about school, I keep saying I don't know. I hate that.
Max caught a banana box filled with sand today, an empty Pepsi bottle, and a dirty plastic plate. When there is a breeze in the desert and stuff blows, nothing is safe from TA DA! SONAR DOG! He can ping in on anything that moves fast. I've decided he doesn't go after sheep because they don't move fast enough for him.
Saw 8 46s and a Blackhawk, or Seahawk, they look the same, just depends what color it is whether it belongs to the army or navy.

Silkworm jolts Souk Sharq…..2 Hurt…..Shopping Maul
Who says the Arabs can't have fun with English?
Master had a co-worker come over today. He had to deliver some papers to Master. The poor guy would have nearly lost his upper plate, had he had one, when he saw the size of the front room. He told Master our front room is as big as his whole apartment. Then when he saw the balcony….Master said he nearly cried.
Max the Running Dog of the Desert got an email today from some BooBoo, High Priestess Secretary Cat for some Princess Katie today. She sounds like a sassy furball if I've ever heard one. The Princess Katie sent The Desert Running Dog a recipe for homemade from scratch doggie biscuits….which he loves. He wrote her a letter thanking her for the nice treats and Secretary Cat responded by return post. I thought that was nice.
