The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The workload doesn't look too crazed, although my first impression of the LMS's backend is not entirely positive.

Based on my experience, most LMSes are made of Satan.

Yeah, the front ends of LMSes are generally nothing to write home about either.

Matt, I don't know what your co-worker is like the rest of the time, but when I ask the advisors who stay later than I do (and as supervisor of customer service, part of my job is to lock up after everyone else) I'm asking because I know it's inconvenient for them to have to turn the printer back on if they're still using it, and the same with the rest; it's not that I don't trust them to lock up. It could be in the way she's wording it. I always phrase it something like, "J., do you still need the printer?" It's because I'm lazy, too. Saves me a step.

I know she meant well, but it felt like she was reluctant to leave and kept thinking up more excuses not to go, like a kid who doesn't want to go to bed and starts asking for one more story, a glass of water, etc. Didn't help that I was hyper focused on trying to finish a batch of files before 8 and the questions kept derailing me every 30 seconds.

Learning management systems seem to have been designed without consulting anyone who has ever taught or taken a class! But probably half my job is facilitating between instructors and IT to try to make Blackboard bend to our will.

I can understand the frustration of being constantly interrupted; that's annoying as hell. New business opportunity--cone of silence! Although, that used to be called an office with a door.

THEY LOST THE PUCK IN THE GOALIE'S PANTS?!?!?!

I do not ever want to learn the truth of what happened in this game, I am so happy to imagine it based on y'all's descriptions/reactions.

Losing the puck in his pants sounds like such a euphemism. For what, I have no idea...

So annoyed at myself. Got in to town last night and my friend canceled on me for dinner. I was exhausted and took a nap, and woke up groggy and gross feeling, and eventually got some dinner. Decided is work out in the morning--there's a river trail nearby and the hotel has awesome fancy treadmills. Instead, thunder like crazy right before my alarm, I turned it off for 30 more minutes sleep. Bleh. At least I'm going home tonight.
