oh, you guys, I'm touched! Thanks for noticing my absence, Chickiee.
Yeah, I've been busy the last few weeks with school. First I had a presentation, then a midterm, then I had to administer a take-home midterm which meant I was basically on-call 24 hours a day by phone and e-mail to my stressed-out students! Very exhausting. Fishcatch is right, though, I was on everyday to check the staff forums, my Classified Ad, and my PM's.
I'm glad it's over and am now back to my old AC'ing ways

Whew!
Thanks again for asking, Valerie. It touched me. No, it wasn't the Thousand Year Eggs. Although I did get sick in the middle of all that school madness. Instead of taking my midterm with the rest of the class, I had to be taken to the school health center. It turns out I'm hypersensitive to caffeine, to the point of 24 hours after the equivalent of two cups of coffee I'll still be shaking uncontrollably. Guess no more Diet Cokes for me

It was scary, though, and I thought I was having a severe allergic reaction to something.
