Overheard at School - November 31st

It seems our principal had ordered some items form a company that will remain nameless. The items hadn't arrived at our school when expected so our principal (hereafter referred to as Dr. D) called the contact person to see when these things could be expected. Much to her surprise the contact person told her that they would be shipped out on Monday, November 31st and she could expect them soon thereafter. Needless to say, Dr. D was surprised. She surmised that he was working off a different calendar than she was but would look forward to receiving the order soon.
