In totally unrelated news, I came home and went to see Toto. He was on my bed, which is unusual (he's usually curled up in his bed). I opened the door, and I went over to give him a tummy rub. He lept off the bed and into my arms and started kissing my face. It was about the sweetest thing ever. It was almost like he knew I had a long weekend, and we were actually gonna hang out a bit.
No one tell him I'm planning on going out tonight.
I'm the same way in an office supply store, fwiw.
Ok - that was a funny crosspost. I'm now imagining Susan running into Office Depot and licking the face of the printer cartridge guy,
I love those post-it white boards but the $5 per sheet tempers that love slightly.
But that's the thing. Everyone pays a lot to go here, and this is a first. We've never been asked to do this before. I honestly think that this is an admin's idea of an "efficient" solution.
It is efficient. It is much more efficient to piss off your employees than your customers. You better hope EVERYONE doesn't start asking for it...
(It sounds like a fairly isolated incident, actually, what with the schedule change and all.)
I doubt you'd get a public school to move a dozen or so exams. ch-ching
Ok...one more little thing, then I might shut up for a bit.
I need to start keeping a list of the really priceless things my tutees say. Today's gem went something like this:
Tutee (T): So, how long have you been tutoring?
vw: Since the beginning of the semester.
T: Really? But, you seem like you know what you're doing!
Ok - that was a funny crosspost. I'm now imagining Susan running into Office Depot and licking the face of the printer cartridge guy,
Hee! Does the printer cartridge guy look like Sean Bean or Nathan Fillion? 'Cuz then I might.
Gee Trudy, have a chip on your shoulder about private schools?
I went to mostly private schools, and have taught at more than a few, and to be honest on items like this they typically don't make these kinds of changes.
You better hope EVERYONE doesn't start asking for it...
They wouldn't grant it. The only reason the admin is doing this is because of the school calendar change this year--anyone else who wanted it would be out of luck. The parent had contacted the school when the calendar change first came out, last spring, so they honestly seem to think that this is the best way to keep these girls accountable; they have to take final exams before they can go. I just think it's a dumb decision, you know? Silly admin.
I. Am. Tired.
I read and skimmed but I don't remember much except that Tep has a cool new magnet and offers very good thoughts on writing. Also, that Susan has my job issues sometimes. Do not piss off the admin bitches! I know everything that's going on and where every file is buried!
Also, how many times do I freaking have to tell my friends, "Do not date each other if you expect to bitch to me later if they screw up!" Also, do not ask my friend out and then not confirm for Saturday by Friday afternoon. She's a busy girl; she's going to make other plans, and she's going to tell me you're a dildo.
