My company sponsored me for a whole day of diversity training, which includes gender/sex/sexuality sensitivity. For a whole day. At least they fed us, but, being who we are, 80% of the room showed up thinking it would be a diversity hiring best practices session, and the other 20% showed up hoping to air gripes about the one smoker on the floor who hacks up a lung every afternoon. (It's not that she smokes; it's that she goes outside and smokes and comes back inside and coughs like your grandma does 30 seconds before you dial 911.)
I wrote a very frank assessment at the end that said, "There has got to be a way to test out of this class, because that was incredibly boring and condescending."
Haven't been fired yet!
I just don't wanna.
Me either.
Wanna go to Vegas instead?
Is it warm there right now?
mac report: he has been picked up. Was all smiles and happy. Has proclaimed school "fun". Is voluntarily doing "homework" (I put this in quotes because what the hell is K homework) so it will be all done for his teacher tomorrow. I did not get to talk with him as my mom thought it might pull him from happy to whining. 34 minutes until I leave. 1:34 until I am home to hug him. ijs.
Aww! Cutiehead family story!
Aw! How's his English coming?
Yay, msbelle! And yay for mac. Kindergarten *is* fun, after all.
And homework can be anything from coloring to pretending to write a letter to cutting things out of a magazine. Three-year-old Sara does *homework* all the time with her big brothers, which consists of scribbling on a piece of paper with various crayons and looking very contemplative and serious while doing so.
Hee--how's it hanging? (Alert for Hec--link is to cute cat pic.)
Oddly, that's close to the temp here. Except it feels colder.
So glad mac enjoyed his first day. School's probably just the thing for him right now.
