Back to school

Hello friends, Hurricane Irene is gone, and now it's time for me to go back to school, lol.  You see, those 70-80 mph winds knocked out electricity for a lot of people here, including the community college where I attend.  I've had both Monday and Tuesday off from school.  I took advantage of things and got caught up on some schoolwork.  Here's what I got done and the grades I got:

Math test - "B"
Word Processing assignment - "B"
Payroll Accounting quiz - "B"
Business Communication quiz - "A"

Pretty good, I think, lol!  While I've enjoyed my time off, tomorrow it's back to school I go, lol!

I had to work the night the hurricane was coming.  We closed early at 11:00 at night, but we had closing-related things to do, so I did not leave for home until 1:00 a.m.  Would you believe I had to take the trash out at work?  In this windy weather?  It was so windy outside that my hat nearly blew off of my head, lol.  Anyway, on my way home from work I came across a tree in the road which had been uprooted.  I was driving slow enough so it was not a problem to go around it.  I had brought home some supplies of my own, one of which was a box of honey buns......we ate these for breakfast the next morning after our power went out.  They were great! 

Saturday was kind of a long day because we had no power or internet and there wasn't much to do.  There was a lot of damage with downed trees and some people were experiencing flodding in some areas too.  I wasn't scheduled for work that night, but I ended up working Saturday night as well, kind of by accident.  I went by Burger King later in the day so I could use their wi-fi, get on the internet, and do some school assignments.  While there, I offered my help if they needed me, and they did, lol.  My manager was nice enough to let me come in early and try to get some schoolwork done before I started my job.  But I could not accomplish much online because my school's internet was down too, so I went on to work.  With a lot of people out of electricity, it was non-stop busy at Burger King, I was definitely not bored, lol.  In the end, all of us who came to work that night was rewarded with a free meal the next night we came in to work , sounded great to me!  So, when they called me in on Monday night, I got to have my free meal during my break.....and I got to work the front register insread of working the drive-thru window like I usually do.  What a fanatstic night!
