jdmkleinFor an uncomfortable meeting tomorrow. It is the last staff meeting of the semester and i will be handing out the teaching assignments. i have learned a valuable lesson. At the end of next semester i will not be giving anyone a choice. They will teach the course i assign to them, or they can get out of the ELU. i have spent most of the last 3 months trying to make 10 go into 376 nineteen times. i am working with limited resources and the raw material keeps on coming in.
Add to that, today i was informed that the VDSA went behind my back to one of my teachers to see about adding another section to the summer schedule. He is really on my list. Big time. i believe i will have to discuss this with the Dean. VDSA is all smarmy and smooth taking about wanting to get along with the ELU and then he does something like that. And this is after another teacher and i spent 90 minutes in his office yesterday explaining to him why that fourth section just isn't going to happen. What an ass. What an ASS.
Master is on my list again too. He will be lucky if i decide to come to the airport to pick Him up next Wednesday. (For anyone who reads this but Him, i'm joking, but i am seriously pissed.)
He is going to the doc today for a checkup. i'm fairly certain He will pass with flying colors but at His age, nothing is a lead pipe cinch. He said He wants me to go too, but i will probably try to weasle out of it. i don't like doctors, and i will not allow heroic measures to save my life. When it is my time to die, just let me go, folks. Just walk quietly out and close the door. Turn out the lights as you leave. That's all i want.
Let me see, who else can i rag on?
i am fairly certain that the one person who asked about her teaching assignment today has had the phone lines of kuwait burning by calling all the other teachers and telling them the news. i must remember not to walk into the office with a 'tude. Business as usual. Smile and say hello. The meeting will start at 10 and will be adjourned at 12. And they can all leave and go grumping away. If they think they can do better, here's the key to my office. Just give me 10 minutes to clean my stuff out.
Next week i'm going to call the Nursing school. See what they have to offer me. i do have some loyalty to my professional ethic, i just renewed my contract for two years with the Univ. but i can live without the pittance i would get as a gratuity if i left now. i would have the same benies at the Nursing school. It's a new program. Would be a whole new set of hassles, but there would be no history. i'll see what she has to offer.
i hate how i'm feeling now. My heart is beating quite rapidly. My head aches, and i have a stabbing pain between my eyes. i know it's stress. i should go see who's in the pool, and take a swim tonight. But that would just innervate me and then i wouldn't be able to sleep. i'll swim tomorrow. Hard. The endorfin rush will keep me through the meeting.
i must not lose my temper, i must notlose my temper i must notlose my temper, i must not lose my temper i must not lose my temper. i will keep my mouth shut and let them blow until they are out of wind. Then i will tell them if they want to talk to me about it i will be in the office next Sunday from 10 - 12. By then they will have calmed down and we will be able to have a rational HA! discussion. i will not lose my temper iwill not lose my temper i will not lose my temper.
