Woody Allen (1935 - )

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931)

The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a war.
E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.

There is a bit of confusion about packing up for storage. An email on May 21st mentioned the building but not the pod. The blog on Friday said we were "likely" going to storage this summer. Then this morning someone said we have to be packed by the 10th and won't be allowed back into the pod after that. Could you please clarify the pod situation for packing? Thank you.

We have said since December that teachers in the back building needed to have their rooms ready for moving by June 11. Rooms 1-6a were also to pack up and be ready by that time. Last week, we were told that the storage units would be brought in on 6/11 and that the first rooms being renovated were delayed due to problems with the window manufacturer. Those rooms will not be ready until mid-July. Therefore the rooms in the pod have no where to go and they will be moved temporarily to storage before being moved finally into the renovated building in mid-August. Once the pod has been vacated, rooms that are slated to move to the pod will be moved in. It is really not important to the teachers where there rooms are moved. It is important that they be ready to move on 6/11. They may not move at that time but at least we will be ready. I hope this helps.
