*there's no place like home, there's no place like home*

So happy to be home again, although i have to admit it's going to be awhile before my time schedule is back in order (notice I'm writing this at 7:00 in the morning and i've been awake an hour already)

In the Las Angeles Airport I went into the bathroom and on the wall there was one of those emergency strobe lights, you know the kind that flash when the fire alarm sounds. The purpose being for the hearing impaired who may not notice a loud alarm, nevermind the panic of the people around them. Anyway, a sign was placed next tot he strobe reading "Out of Order, please listen for alarm" Uh-huh. Right. So never mind if you hear the alarm and people are screaming, running everywhere, as long as that light isnt flashing then everything's ok?

It's been decided that it must be some schmuck's first day on the job saying "whattya need the flashin glight for anyway?" people.

Anyway, speaking of the hearing impaired, my mom showed me her new classroom while i was home. Everything's brand new, they're renovating the school she works at and she gets this fantastic room until her old room is done. My mother works as a teacher in a school for children with severe mental and physical hanicaps. (for those readers who dont know) Anyway, yeah i'm really excited for her, i really admire her patience.
