Principal Dewey's Adopted Office, 1/30/06

[stickittotheme.livejournal.com]

Dewey wanders into his appointed office, ignoring the rather creative and unique in-box, and sits at the very shiny and well-finished desk. He drums his fingers, and picks up the phone reciever.

"Principal Finn!" He scowls and sets the phone down again and picks it up. "Dewey Finn, Principal!" He shakes his head. "No, no, too..." he drums his fingers and replaces the phone again. He then grabs it and says "Principal of Rock, Dewey Finn!" He nods. "Yes, perfect."

He hangs up the phone again and drums on his desk, and starts opening the drawers. "Oooh, jackpot," he says, and pulls out a box of Hostess cupcakes. "Best. Job. Ever."

He unwraps a cupcake, looks around to see if anyone is watching, and shoves the entire thing into his mouth.

[ooc: put in the comm as I believe no one has his journal friended yet, woe. Pretty much locked to Doctor House, as I'm kinda busy today, otherwise.]

Dewey frowns a bit. "Bum leg? Well that is a multitude of not fun." Dewey looks around the desk and managed to find a piece of paper and a pencil and starts writing some quick notes to himself.

"I really hope you get that all figured out, Doctor House, sir. I'll get on finding a replacement Doc as soon as possible. Is this going to be one of those indefinite leaves, or what exactly?"

House sets both hands on the handle of his cane. "I'm not sure."

Now that he's doig it, he's feeling a bit of regret. He probably wouldn't think anything of it, if Pippi hadn't stopped by t see him earlier.

He shakes his head. "I never should have accepted this position. I jus, I don't know. I need some time to clear my head. I don't knoif I want to come back. So." He sighs and meets Dewey's eyes. Dewey is not what Hosue would expect in a high school principal, but he figures he's not what anyone would expect in a renowned doctor.

"If you find a permanent replacement, that might be best."

Dewey lowers his eyes and rubs the back of his neck. "If that's what you suggest, I'll look into it. I'll have to talk with the Vice Principal, and I think the Board of Director types might want to confer on that, but..." Dewey gives a sad smile and looks up again. "I just hope you get whatever you want, Doc. I dunno if I have the authority to say this, but you'll always be welcome back, if'n you change your mind."

House nods. "Thank you, Mister? Principal?" He shrugs. "I'll keep that in mind. So, end of the week." He nods again. "I'll be out of the apartment by Sunday."

Well. he hadn't even thought of that. Maybe he could stay with geoff for a few days. Or the NPC Suites. If they took dogs. Well, he could probably get somebody to take Cash for him for a couple days if necessary.

"End of the week," Dewey says, and scribbles himself a note. "Thanks for giving me a heads up. And you can just call me Dewey. Though I guess we won't really have a chance to get to know each other or anything. But, yeah. Dewey's just fine with me." He smiles warmly.

"Anything else I can do, or is that all?"

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

"No. That's all." The conversation was far less painful that he'd expected. "I appreciate your time, Dewey. Sorry to throw this at you out of the blue."

"Hey, trial by fire and all that," Dewey nods. "Glad I could help, if just a teeny bit. Thanks, man."

"Yeah. Take care." House heads for the door. He feels like weight has been lifted off his shoulders, and at the same time he feels sad about it. He shrugs and heads over to the humanities wing to sit in on Geoff's class.

Geoff. He's going to have to tell Geoff. He takes a deep breath and keeps walking.
