( continues...) problems get worked out.
Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Awkward post break. Feel like I should edit and add something else.
Oh no, flea. That does not sound good. I hope someone has some kind of plan and things work out OK this weekend.
And I'm sorry you're in such a tough spot, Scrappy. I have nothing but good thoughts for you. But I wonder if any of our teachers would have any advice?
As is so often the case, I'm reminded why I would not be good at a particular career. Salesperson, waiter...teacher. Because I assume saying "No, fuck YOU, you entitled little shit," is not generally a recommended strategy.
With ya, Dana. I can be the sweetest person in the world, but I have my mirror moments. If you are nasty to me it is right back at ya. When I first left high school I was a waitress for 2 weeks and knew I did not have the temperment. Working with computers is much better. I do customer support all day, but I have a hold button, and they can't see my facial expressions or hand gestures.
Note to self: Mail Scrappy a bullwhip, and an Indiana Jones hat. Purely for effect, of course. Learn to snap that puppy and they'll pay attention, I betcha.
Oh, Scrappy, that is a really rough day. I hope you have a lovely weekend to make up for it. And to recharge for next week, when they will hopefully behave like better humans.

I worked briefly in retail and just no. I couldn't manage a classroom of kids, I couldn't manage ONE kid. I have anormous respect for anyone who can and anyone brave and strong enough to try. Teachers are the toughest people out there.
Husband was originally on a flight home leaving 7:10 and arriving at 9 something. He got onto an earlier flight leaving at 3:10, which was then delayed a good two hours and is now arriving at almost 8.
However, his original flight is now estimated to arrive at 12:30 AM, so he's still ahead of the game.
Scrappy, I'm so sorry you had such a rough time with that class. Are you going to have them again next week? Are you a long-term sub or filling in for whoever is out on any given day? Does this class have a regular teacher you could talk to? If so, she or he might be able to give you some good advice.
