I'm so excited for your D-day smonster!

Uggh, Pix, wtf? I hate that kind of thing.

I was gonna say that. So I'll amend, "I hate that kind of thing. WTF?!"

Apparently the assistant to the US director here says that I complain and refuse to sub when other people are out, which is completely untrue and pisses me off like I can't even tell you. The thing is that she has apparently bitched to my department chair (who was the one to tell me) and the director but NEVER MENTIONED IT to me.

First, that doesn't sound like you AT ALL. Secondly, the woman sounds like a passive aggresive bitch.

Cancer takes away so many loved ones. I'm sorry, Drew.

fuck cancer

and Doble WTF to people that complain to others but never want to deal with the cause ( because it isn't true)

I agree. I find myself wishing I could tell these jerks (including one or two where Daniel works), "Like, what totally awesome leadership skills!" t /Moon Unit Zappa voice

Much Max~ma, FredPete.

I'm sorry, Drew.

Speaking of totally awesome leadership, the dippy housemanager who couldn't control her own reactions and thought it was inappropriate to not nag, she won't be returning to work. She went off to have surgery in February. And I started vibing that her negative energy couldn't come back in to the house, to protect the residents from it. Well, we finally got word that the restrictions her doctors were insisting on essentially meant that no one knew when she would ever be fit to work full time again, so she's just not coming back. And I got to say to the supervisor two levels above me, "I sure hope the next person you put in that job has a clue about how our reactions increase or decrease behaviors, and has another clue about how important routines are." So it was good to be able to have that conversation. It seems they have someone picked out, that person just has to find a replacement for their current position and then will be able to start here.

Part of what is upsetting me so much is that this is someone that I generally have a good relationship with. She can be passive aggressive, but I really thought she and I were beyond that.

I'm sorry, Kristin. It just sucks all around. And it kind of makes me wonder what kind of drama this person is setting the stage for - or trying to cover up.
