Has anyone heard from ita lately? I am a little nervous about her absence.
I know it is crazy after all these years, but I still can't figure out the artistic director of the theatre- I think it is a personality that just does not exist in business, which completely thrives on conflict and is completely self centered, but is also a fairly nice person. For example, I have literally been asking for the same minor change in schedule for 3 -4 years and have been told it is impossible. We finally got the change, but it was because the administrative assistant YELLED at him for about a half an hour. Like, you seriously have to raise your voice and YELL to be heard. Which is so weird, because what boss likes his employees to yell at him! Then, at the end of the yelling, he said he did not understand why I never brought it up before! However, we have an employee who is not doing her job and is completely obstructive to everything. She has been written up several times and has not made improvements in her behavior. The head of the english department also was involved. But even though there is no improvement, he can't bring himself to fire her, even though it would benefit the whole program.
