      As I walked slowly to my desk, I pictured myself, as I had done several times before, telling old Voldy I was quitting. Whenever I had the temptation to stop reading the immensely boring editorials and random reading material, I was subjecting myself to these days for my upcoming GDs/interviews, I would picture myself telling Voldy I was out of here and then his possible reactions. It was my favourite daydream.

      It's Halloran. Or as he is more frequently called by the kids around Rosemary Bluffs, Voldy. Named for a certain villain in a certain story about a world of wizards. Trust me, the guy earned the nickname. I've never met anyone so rude. If you held a contest for meanest person in town, Voldy would win every time. Even most adults don't like him.
