What's happening in Shell

What's happening in Shell today? I spent three hours at a school board meeting this morning. Lot's on the agenda. One of the big items is our search for new teachers. We'll need four new teachers next year. The seventh/eighth grade teacher is staying, but the rest of the positions are vacant. We need kindergarten, first-second, third-fourth, and fifth-sixth grade teachers. Know anybody who wants to apply? Actually, we're off to a good start this year, with quite a few possibilities and people interested.

Right now I'm finishing up with the computer for Dustin's classroom. I've re-formatted the hard drive and re-installed Windows 95 on it. I found a bad CD-ROM drive and have installed a spare until HCJB can get another one for the machine. The kids in the classroom had stopped using the machine because it was slow, and programs ran slowly from the CD. Hopefully I can get it back in good running order so they'll use it again. It's an older computer, but will do the job.

We had a huge rainstorm over lunch, and we felt mostly cozy in our house. Except for the fact that the rain was blowing a lot and starting to come in some of our windows where we don't have glass. Guess we'll need to keep pursuing that. When you ask for something to be done here, whether it's get new windows made for your house, a cabinet for your kitchen, or when you car is at the mechanic, you have to hound them every few days if you want the job to get done any time this century! We put in our order for windows to be made last November. Nothing yet.
