Today at work we were on "lockdown". What does that mean? Well, it means the buildings were all locked.... presumably from the outside. To be honest I really don't know what being on "lockdown" means, but it does kind of sound cool. You'd think I worked in the barrio or something versus quiet ol' Lively Oak. BTW, it's not REALLY called Lively Oak, but it is called something similar. I'm trying to keep my job here. Anyways, so yeah, lockdown. For a good fifteen minutes. It was like being on CSI or Sesame Street. It was interesting. I think what really got me was when I didn't know if I could leave my building, because once again, what does lockdown mean?
Apparently the real drama was the middle school across the street. A couple of geniuses got on the roof with guns. Or so I hear. To be honest, that might not even be true. You'd be amazed how fast rumors fly on a college campus. One day it's two kids on the roof with guns, the next day its a militia of kids taking down the faculty breakroom one teacher at a time. But hey, at least I'm not bored. Can never be bored.
Happy Easter!

Whoa!
We have "lockdown" drills at school several times a year. This annoying alarm goes off and we are suppose to either hide under the desks or against a wall without a sound and away from windows. Ive had a few friends in other schools have to be in lockdown mode (no ins or outs of the school! I essentially lock all the kids and myself in the room..in case of an intruder in the school) for HOURS. It's usually because of some highschool drama with guns or some other crime.
Happy Easter :)
