Because I Tempted Fate and Thought It Couldn't Get Worse...

We have a field trip planned to an area university. It is all set for Friday. Paid our money for the buses and everything. Kids are excited. I am excited. My sub has been called.

Only today I find that the college has had a special visitor over the last week.

You bettcha. Swine flu.

I'm waiting to see how my district responds. Not holding my breathe that it will end with a happy teacher and students.

Sigh.

Is if freaking Friday yet? Seriously. This is ridiculous.

That simply sucks! It's almost Friday, and the weekend will be here before you know it!

Grrrr...how maddening. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Well, if it is the univ. I think it is (the one I work at) - I wouldn't worry too much. The note we got yesterday from "administration" indicated that it was a student (now no longer contagious and feeling better) in IV... and I'm going to work so it better be OK!

That sucks. I hope that the swine flu abates and the district decides to go forward with the trip.

P and I had been joking last week that the whole swine flu thing seemed to have been overblown, having faded from public consciousness as quickly as it entered. Then, on Monday, his boss was diagnosed. Ugh.

OH NO !!
Look.....take hand sanitizer and medical masks :)

Tomorrow is Friday. I hope you drink. And I hope you drink this weekend. :)

Oh mate, stupid frickin swine flu. It's starting down here now too ... a cruise ship docked in Sydney harbour and let all the passengers off, who have gone back to their homes, to possibly spread the oinky germs throughout the state. Wootaramo!

Doesn't the media just latch on to the hysteria, ridiculous.

I hope you can still get to go on your field trip though! Love to you Stacie XOXOXOX

Damn! That totally sucks! I hope it gets worked out and the kids aren't TOO bummed out.

It is so weird that you are only a county away from me, an hour and a half by car, and we haven't had swine flu here and you have had so much of it! Good luck with the field trip - five hours until Friday. You'll make it. I know you will.

Sorry to hear :(
It is almost Friday hang in there.

Stacie said...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I think it really helped.

HM--yep. We're going to your univ.

M2C-We're just lucky like that.

In two hours it will be Friday. Finally.
