Asshat boss has passive aggressively not approved my travel for a conference in San Diego. Yes, it's in San Diego, and it's a nice place to be -- that's why they hold conferences in nice places-- but, I need to go both for the information and the fact that YOU GAVE ME A MOTHERFUCKING TWO OUT OF FOUR ON MY EVALUATION LAST YEAR FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Do not make suggestions about the so-called "Leadership Academy" on campus, whose current offerings are: Public speaking (like I need that), Investment strategies (what does that have to do with my job?), Stress management (not killing you?), Improving your Operational Processes.
Are you kidding me?
And the bullshit about the Center for Teaching and Learning is just that - bullshit. Your little chuckle and "maybe you'll teach someday" was condescending and annoying. Not to mention that I HAVE TAUGHT AT THE LAW SCHOOL LEVEL, YOU SMARMY SON OF A BITCH. It has
nothing
to do with my current job, and therefore is not helpful for professional development. Or is that not a requirement? ASSHAT!!!!
umm, sorry about the asscaps, but I'm kind of livid. If you couldn't tell.
ugh what a bad week for bosses. Fuck them all up their stupid asses.
Vortex - your boss is wishing to join the buffista fuckwadboss parade?
::flips off and rickrolls Vortex's boss::
farts in general direction of all the AsshatBuffistaBosses
I made the mistake of thinking I could just be friendly and entertaining, rather than starting out by being a hardass bitch and then dialling it down... It was a pretty good learning experience for me, but it still makes me wince, thinking back on it.
Sounds like my best friend from high school, whose first out-of-college job involved teaching science to 7th graders. He decided to be easygoing, they jumped all over him. He survived the year, then went for a master's in library science.
And I'm selfishly pissed at Vortex's boss because damn, Vortex in California not happening. >(
Cue end of the semester panic from my tutoring students. It's actually a little early this semester. YAY! I'm so thankful my thesis is done so I don't have to worry about that!
Stephanie, I liked Amy's idea for the hair. I think if you lose a couple inches and get some layers, it'll look fab.
Bitch Bosses are really bad this week, aren't they? Good grief!
(damn I wanna hear back from Aimee's interviewers and I want them to call today and want her to start tomorrow with full bennies and lotsa money)
I even dreamed about it last night! Of course in the dream, Kristin and I had kidnapped E and forgot to tell Aims so she spent her entire first day at new job yelling at MM for losing E. But in the end, somehow we took everyone to Disney World and ND took us on a cruise that was fun and there were no killings of Kristin and me.
What? It was a dream.
In good news, I haves me an iPhone. And it didn't cost anything--sort of. J uses his Amex card to pay for everything (like groceries, etc) because you get points that way, and we pay off the whole balance each month. They just had a deal that if you use your points you get 30% off, so we got the iPhone! For me! So excited!
What? It was a dream.
Well, aside from hours of panic and dealing with an even more panicked Empress, sounds good to me.
