The post- it pad sat neatly on the corner of my desk. Yellow, today. I had just taken the wrapping off and it was begging me to write.

I picked up my red pen and held it at the ready. I really shouldn’t, I thought, but only briefly.

Oh yeah. I was supposed to go to Driver’s Ed to defrag that ancient computer. So, defrag DE computer. Today. I added the date. I pulled that one off and went to stick it to the top of my monitor.

There was a pink post-it waiting. Blue ink, had to be the Principal, please check this website for me, along with the url. And the date. Crap. It was already two days old. Needed to get on that right away. So, I did.

As I was perusing through the pages, a student walked in with a blue post- it. He handed it to me. Pass to library, with the date, time and a scribbled signature.

I smiled at the student and added that one to the collection of passes.

Remembering my yellow, I grabbed a purple and wrote No TOUCHY ! and plastered it on the face of my monitor.
