RED HOT RUMOR

[vanillafluffy]

from the world of work: There was a posting today for a management-level position in our department...the word on the floor is that He-Boss is departing. C-Boss will be filling his slot, meaning they'll be looking for a replacement for her. She-Boss remains where she is. HA! He barely lasted through one holiday (I can't remember the last time I saw him on the floor, now that I think of it. Certainly not since the new year!), after all his shit about his previous experience and how freakin' fabulous he was. This probably won't have any impact on me, but I'm still smirking. He lasted LESS than a year, what a putz.

Several major fools crossed my path today; I'm happy enough about the Red Hot Rumor that I'm not even going to vent about them. (Although the fool who was trying to return a pair of "barely worn!" Butch Boots that he'd had since 2005 was at least entertaining!)

Oh, and lest I forget, the Executroids have cancelled for this Friday. I'm sure they'll reschedule, but I'll worry about that when it happens.

*facepalm* Sometimes I'm not sure who has to deal with worse idiots - you with your customers, or me with my students.

Honey, I would MUCH rather deal with my idiots than yours. For one thing, I don't have to look at them face to face. I can roll my eyes, smirk, make obscene gestures, and under extreme circumstances, accidentally disconnect them...and when my day is over, I don't have to do anything else---like grade papers. On the other hand, my work benefits the economy, yours benefits The Future. (At least in theory.)

LOL. Well, I (usually) mock them when they're not around. Though it's true, I have to face them at least 30 times (assuming they bother to come to all classes, of course, which many of them - happily - do not).

and when my day is over, I don't have to do anything else---like grade papers.

That, sadly, is teh truth. But I get 17 weeks off a year, so I suppose the scales balance out.

y, yours benefits The Future. (At least in theory.)

There's at least 5-10 students in each class you I can honestly say I feel learned something. The rest? Meh. Mind you, if they learn they're not 'university material', I suppose I've still done something.
