• Boy, that's irritating.

  Every month throughout the school year I've checked the school web site
  to print out the next month's lunch menu and order form.  Temple
  doesn't cook itself - lunches are provided by a catering firm, and must
  be preordered the month prior.  Annoying, but that's the way they
  do it.

  Frequently it's toward the end of the month before it gets put up, and
  last month it was put up the day it was due . . . very aggravating,
  indeed.

  However, not as aggravating as this month.  I just called the
  office to ask about it, to be told, yes, they're trying to get the bugs
  out and be more consistent about getting it online, but it was due in
  on the 20th.  Sorry.  It should have been passed out in
  homeroom and sent home with Dmitry.

  Well, most likely it was, only I have been printing it off the net and
  turning it in without his input, so why should he suddenly think maybe
  Mom needs the form?  I'd like to blame him (teenage boys are so
  doggone blameable, aren't they?), but just can't.  All year it'd
  been done without his input, except for choosing which days to take,
  and recently he's been buying every day.

  Having it on the web site each month then suddenly omitting it, however, was a crummy thing to do.
