Luckily for me, Wheelock's classes don't start until Wednesday, so the college just completely closed today. And announced it last night, so I could sleep in. Should have left a note or something for my husband, though, so he would know not to wake me up this morning when I wasn't up at my usual time. Oh well. I managed to get back to sleep.
It's not only higher education - in the 14 years I've taught high school in a small suburban town I've had to report , sans students, when the water main broke (a.k.a. no bathrooms), the boiler system broke (a.k.a. no heat in the land of the frozen tundra), and my favorite, the day mentioned in the bomb threat written on a bathroom wall. I thought they'd have to send us home early that day when the power unexpectedly failed due to a small explosion at a nearby industrial area - if for no other reason than half of us were near pants-wetting after hearing the bang and the lights going out - but they had already fixed the watermain and the bathrooms were working. It is a very Rodney Dangerfield feeling.
