There was more than a little tension when I showed up for my semi-weekly meeting this afternoon. Just 2 out of the usual 5-7 of us were there. “Where’s everybody?” I asked as cheerfully as I could muster.
“I have no idea,” my grumpy colleague huffed.
I ignored her tone. “Well,” I said, “let’s look at the agenda and get to work.” I could see I was alone on the shared document, but still I pressed on, asking questions and taking notes, until at last one other person showed up, followed by our administrator. Things were a little more cordial after that, but not much.
“Wow! It’s cold in there!” the reading specialist said as we walked out.
“Yeah it is!” I agreed a little too heartily.

Sure doesn't sound like much fun...
