Well, the popcorn lasted all of one day before disappearing and that annoyed a lot of teachers. It usually lasts a week before getting thrown out. Last year it might end up in someone's room for a little bit but it would always come back to the lounge. I think it was either thrown away by one of the new custodians or someone took it home with them. It is a little annoying though because it kind of defeats the purpose of going through the effort to get the giant bag of popcorn if it disappears when it is still pretty much full. I'll have to put a note on it next time. Explain the obvious to people.

I was pretty happy when I left my student directory yesterday and when I opened it today it was completely broken. I don't know what happened. Now on my form I get an individual record for each guardian a kid has, instead of one record that lists all the guardians. My filter still works to just show individual classes, and initially the report still showed that, but out of the blue the report stopped representing the filter. I know the issue is related to messing with the control sources yesterday but the thought of going back and trying to fix it all, getting back to my original filter issue, isn't very appealing. I need a break from it.

I didn't have a lot going on today. I kind of figured out how to add printers in XP using an IP address but it is much easier in Windows 7. I had a few classes in the lab, I talked to several teachers about their frustration with the disappearing popcorn, got a few compliments on my flower, and tried not to fall asleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be more exciting.

After school I tried a bit more of the Battlefield 4 beta on PC. Domination worked fairly well, a little better when I turned everything to Low, which wasn't a big deal because the graphics don't really matter in fast-paced Domination. I played a little Conquest but I got tired of the loading screens and low FPS so I called it good. And moved onto a bit of Terraria. I got bored on my tiny world and cheated a bit to get to two of the three floating islands. I might create a bigger world so I have more to explore because I'm not really into the boss battle stuff. I like exploring. I quit playing after my axe and all my wood disappeared and I couldn't make any more torches. I'll have to load into my other world sometime and get some wood.
