Have you ever had a day where you’re convinced that you’re in an alternate reality? Everything appears normal, but something just seems a little… I dunno… off? You can’t really put your finger on it, but you just know?!

That’s my day today. To a ‘T’. It started when I woke up this morning. That blasted bird (Marie swears it’s a robin, but I think it’s just a friggin’ noise maker out to irritate the hell out of me!) was outside my window again. Again? – you say. Yes, again. What’s so weird then, right? Well, that blasted little bird had all its buddies out there singing, chirping, shrilling, whatever you want to call it at the top of their little blasted lungs! And when I yelled for it to shut the hell up, I swear the little bastard laughed at me! No lie!

…you laugh. Wait til it happens to you at seven in the morning. We’ll see how perky you are!

Next, I’m at lunch, where I could have sworn the lunch lady, Ms. Markham, hit on me! What’s wrong with that, you ask? Nothing, if you like eighty year old women with no teeth and wearing hair nets. I don’t know if I should be flattered or insulted. I know I heard her ask if she could pinch my butt!! When I asked her what she said, she asked me if I wanted butter… I dunno. But then I heard her mutter something about ‘commando’. She better be talking about guerilla warfare tactics and not what I think she’s talking about! Otherwise, Marie will have some serious explaining to do!

Then, I’m walking down the hall after lunch and I see Scooter come stomping out of ‘Ro’s office. As he passes me, I hear him muttering to himself. Something about “Mutantarian…hormones….bell tower around here…”

I don’t know about you, but Scooter in a bell tower would be a sight to behold!

Needless, to say, I’m about to die of curiosity!

I walk into ‘Ro’s office to see what the heck’s going on around here and find the ‘I’m Miss Weather Goddess So RESPECT’ rolling around on the floor. Now this is something you don’t see everyday… This could be interesting!
