jdmkleinThis isn't fun any more. i keep telling the VDAA i want to be finished with this position. He keeps telling me i can't. What does he know?
We will have fewer students than i was told, but now the Science Faculty has changed its schedule and our first year students may have either chemistry or physics at the same time they are supposed to be with us. i think i can work around it, but, the Director of Student Affairs says she has to go in to each student's file and make note of which time and section they are taking. i think the computer should be able to handle this but she says no. i'm not going to argue with her, but i have to wonder if she's intentionally making my life difficult.
i'm done with P. She can just stew in her own juices. She is just too difficult a friend to keep. i don't want to have to work so hard to be her friend. She is mean and manipulative and acts like a spoiled child. i don't need this. She's said the last thing to me in anger as a friend. i can't help it if she isn't satisfied with her life. It's not my problem, and i'm taking steps to get rid of it. Fuck her and the horse she rode in on.
Max made his first public appearance at the ball games tonight. He did pretty good. All the girls thought he was sooo cute when he was trying to play catch with them as they warmed up before the game. One of them missed the ball and Max hauled off after it. At first i thought he was going to drop it at her feet and i was all ready to praise him for being such a good boy. But then i caught the gleam in his eye and knew he was going to play keep away from her. The little stinker. He's laying on his pillow now, zonked. It's hard being the cutest dog at the ball park. He worked hard at it, and now he's tired. i hope he sleeps through to 5 tomorrow morning. Wishful thinking. We celebrated his debute by stopping for an ice cream on the way home. He was so dainty eating it. And then he got a bad case of frozen tongue. But he perservered. He was done with the ice cream before we got home.
A meeting tomorrow with the teachers. i'll meet the new one i hope. i still have a truck load of work. i had hoped to be farther along by the time the semester began, but with teachers coming back later than expected, i have had my load increased. Add to that a struggle with the Dean for my teaching assignments. i wish he'd keep his nose out of my business. i don't mess with his pharmacy students, he shouldn't mess with my language instructors.
My financial advisor stopped by the office today to give me the delightful news that when the market goes back up, i'll make money hand over fist. As it stands right now, i've lost 31% of all i've invested. Oh well, i never planned on being able to spend any of it. i expect i'll be dead by the time i can divest myself . My kids should love me, though.
