April Fools, Indeed!

Yesterday, April Fool's Day, was a weird day. First off, the weather played a funny trick on everyone. It has been such a cold spring here, and then all of a sudden, wham--it's summer! It got up to 85 degrees yesterday. And then Mom told me that it snowed seven inches in Springdale--I'm sure everyone there in southern Utah thought that was a funny April Fool's joke too. So it was scorching hot here, and then our supervisors at work conveniently "forgot" to tell us that we could wear our summer uniforms to work. All of us, being tired of getting in trouble for menial things, dutifully wore our thick, polyester winter uniforms--but our supervisors showed up in their summer ones. All they could say was "Oh, sorry." Fooled again! Needless to say, those of us who actually had to be outside working were very hot and uncomfortable. Then, the phone rang at the Visitor Center, and I answered it. A lady's voice said, "Yes, is Mary Todd there?" I paused for a second. I wanted to say, "Are you serious?" But I just said, "No." The lady said, "She doesn't work there?" I said, "No." Lady said, "She's not a patient there or anything." Me: "No." Lady: "Oh, well, sorry--I guess I have the wrong number." Was that some kind of April Fool's joke? It had to be, right? So I was hot and confused after that phone call, and it didn't help that I was also sick (some sort of cold, allergies, or sinus infection). By 1:30 in the afternoon, I was literally about to pass out, so they sent me home. Anyway, Happy post April Fool's to you all (I'm glad it's not April Fool's Day any more)!
