Vibes to the kittycat and to Fred and hubs.
Kat--my hide is chapped just hearing about that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
But, here's why I can't really be pissed.
It IS my job to support the teachers. It is also my job to ensure that the assessments are completed and turned in on time. And that is as detailed a job description as I have around the SPA.
AND I sent a memo to all of the teachers on 10/29 saying that if teachers needed assistance with grading I could help them but to let me know within the next day or two. I did tell them I needed to mail the stuff by 11/5.
So I can't really be mad. I think I'm just mad about the whole entitled attitude. And, I'm amused at my own reaction because it isn't called for.

Did you know that if you love falafel, you could be a terrorist?

It's not diplomatic to use "we" in that situation; it's passive-aggressive.
That happens ALL THE TIME here. I think it's worse because chaplaincy training is all about Group Dynamics and Supportive Listening and other assorted touchy-feelyness, and they don't know how to turn it off when practicality and clarity are more needed than warm fuzzy feelings.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooooh, I DO love falafel. I better keep an eye on myself. I'm pretty shifty.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Mmmmm, terror-falafel.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Every time you eat falafel the baby jesus beats a kitten.
Do you really want that on your head?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I thought that said "Every time you eat falafel the baby jesus EATS a kitten."
To which I say, both are good eatin'.
