Back to Work

We survived the loooooong trip back from Custer. Thirteen hours in our Trailblazer. Brutal. After only a few hundred miles we were all punch drunk. While the kids slept in back, Kristie and I took turns driving. While taking 83 north through the hills of central South Dakota, I noted a small town, Selby, and its very empty motel. I said, "Looks like the Selby motel is booked solid." Kristie started laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. I didn't think my deadpan observation was so funny, but I was so tired of driving that I started laughing at her. That laugh fueled me for several hundred more miles.

Yesterday I checked my email. This message in particular was of interest. Of course, many of my colleagues know how I get a kick out of these messages and emailed to notify me of it or to get my response. But after seeing notes like this sent to all faculty of a place of education, I am at a loss for a response. You be the judge --

On behalf of the maint. and cleaning staff we wish you happy easter.
Starting tonight we will be waxing hallway all of them. BUT WE NEED HELP FROM YOU.
PLEASE REPECT OR JOB AND THE PRODUCT WE PUT DOWN.
IF IT LOOKS WET THAN IT IS. please do not walk on or wet wax floor.
It causes us a extremely large amount of time and product. for careless people
to just walk on it with no concerns for or hard work.
So Please i beg if you please respect or job and or sign
thank you Maint

That is the actual message. I didn't doctor a thing!
