Since lunch I've had a minor sore throat and feel like I'm running a low fever. Instead of clogging tonight, I think I'll go home, take my vitamins, make myself some soup and try to get to feeling better. There's no back-up plan if I'm not well enough to work.

I have one student worker leaving on Thursday to help with campaigns for the two weeks of election. At least one more student will be gone a few days campaigning immediately prior to the election. Goal for tomorrow: re-work the library work schedule to cover their absences. Having no classes Monday & Tuesday of election week will help tremendously.
