Welcome to ANI In The Air, in the building, in and around Baltimore. Your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins and arounds, arts and ideas, stuff basically.

So this is, I think, a first for me. I don't know, it's cold and white outside, so I'm actually recording from the inside of the building for the first time this year.
0:19
It's kind of weird. I'm talking through a mask, hopefully it's not too muffled.
0:24
Anyway, so what happened today? Well, it was cold and wet, and so of course kids were outside playing as they always do.
0:33
Today, there was a big game of gaga. Yesterday, some people tried to play gaga, found the ball was kind of popped.
0:44
Didn't really stop them somehow, but later in the day, Phil pumped up a new ball, and they were using it today.
0:56
And surprisingly, I mean, it was a lot of wet sand, and I was expecting a lot of sand inside, but I haven't actually, it hasn't been too messy yet so far.
1:05
So that's cool, just speaking from a janitorial point of view. And let's see, we had Article Club today, which was about the idea of when they go low, we go high, and whether that's appropriate or not, and in context of something or other.
1:30
So that was fun. I think next week we might end up with an article on postmodernism of some kind. Looking forward to that. Always love to get past the modern.
1:45
Alrighty. What else? Yeah, I don't know. I think that's the usual stuff kind of going on. Oh, there was actually a JC without me. I was doing an admissions interview, and we had to do one JC case, so they proceeded finally without me.
2:09
So that was a good thing for the year.
2:17
And just as a reminder, the staff feedback survey is up and live, and we encourage everyone to fill it out. It's posted on Discord, the link, and if you need any help with it, ask around, because it is feedback to the staff.
2:40
I suggest if you don't ask a staff member about it, but if you really have to, you can. Anyway, I think that's it for today. It's Tip of the Week Thursday.
2:51
I think a wet vacuum is a really good tip for having something. We have one at school. I recently got one for my house. I bought a new house, you know, my first house, back in December, and we are now in the rainy season.
3:09
And guess what? We get some water. It goes into our garage, which we don't really use, and into this kind of gas meter room, which we also don't use, but we don't really like water sitting around.
3:19
So we got wet back in the garage. So far, the biggest rainfall water production was something like 50 gallons of water. So that's fun. Yeah, I had to do it twice over this past rainstorm, and yeah, looking forward to figuring out how we might avoid having all that water coming in.
3:48
And we knew we had some water coming in before we bought it, but didn't know how bad it could get. For the gas meter room, it's right underneath our porch.
4:02
And so we had the school mason guy come by, and he kind of redid the top, and that helped a bit, but probably needs to redo the sides to really stop that.
4:13
And we also need our cutters fixed, which I'm going to use the school's roofing guy, hopefully. It can take a while to get him to come out and get stuff done.
4:25
But yeah, you know, it's been profitable being at this school for me. I get to know some of the more useful contractors around here.
4:37
And in any event, that's the tip of the week Thursday. I always think about a nice, wet vacuum.
4:44
Hopefully soon I will be able to report on how plug-in electric lawnmower works. I'm kind of excited to see how that works.
4:54
I really dislike having to deal with gasoline motors for the salon equipment, and I'm trying to stay away from all that lithium stuff.
5:04
So we'll see if the cord stuff works. I'm excited about that.
5:10
All right, you all have a good one, and I will see you when I see you.
