Busy Morning

revenaI woke up a little earlier than I had planned to, this morning, because some of the kids from the charter school next door were sitting in the alley across from my house and shouting at each other. I put on my robe, stepped out onto the porch, said something cranky, and then went to take my shower. While I was in the shower, I pondered Action.
Because, you know, I don't think this noisy kid situation is gonna get better on its own. Yesterday morning, they weren't content to sit across from my porch - they were on my porch. And you'd better believe I yelled at them, then. So the fact that they were back, and only five feet away from where they'd been before, doing the same noisy things...
So after I got dressed, I walked over, and had a chat with the co-director of the school. I pointed out to him that there are some liability issues - these kids run into traffic, guys. They are completely unsupervised in the mornings and afternoons - and some noise issues, and suggested that having an adult from the school standing around outside during the non-school times when the kids congregate would probably be enough to curtail the bad behaviors. I don't think the kids themselves are bad kids - they're just doing what preteens do when no one's keeping an eye on them.
After my chat with the co-director, I went in to work, only about an hour late!
And immediately got a call from the guy who is installing new windows, back at home, asking if I could come and let him in.
I wonder if I'm gonna get anything done at my actual job today?
