no luck

November 22nd, 2005:
Hmmmmm.....gate is locked again.

Well by golly I will just call one of the assistant principals. I pick Joni, as that name sounds friendly and consumer-conscious (think "Joni Mitchell"...she cares - right?)
I get through the secretary and speak to Joni. She is very apologetic and feels badly that I have been inconvenienced. Wow....this is great. She will see that this problem is solved/resolved/re-solved.

optimistic? yes?
