forever again

it has been hectic...getting ready for school, getting ready to move, and managing Mr. 3's new job (scheduling alone time keeps getting harder and harder)

today however was rough, the first day of the semester always is, but add in your own classes on top of that and everything gets five times worse. At the moment my brain is so fried that I am blogging simply for an opportunity to get my head back together..

First of all, the stupid freshman questions....yes you are in the O-S-H building, we call it Osh, welcome....second, the easiest way to find the WPRA is to following the HUGE signs posted in the hallway, but if you really can't read a sign at this late stage in your life, sure I'll direct you out of pity. geez.

Second, scheduling problems, one classroom is too small but at that time when there is absolutely no room in the university for a change of venue...

But perhaps the most annoying thing of today is the constant calls from the bug asking the most stupid questions...and they are the same questions over and over again! she is the academic advisor if she can't figure out the cross-listing thing by now... the other day I was looking up a class roll and noticed that Mr.3, instead of being slated as the graduate student that he is, is listed as a Junior. I had him call the registar, and they told him that the advisor had changed his status...my question is...what in the hell did she think that she was doing? Beth had everything set up perfectly and she had to mess around...hopefully it will get fixed but who knows how many students records she has screwed up at this point.

other horrific news, there is a rumor that JB might be temping for the Languages and Literature department for a month or so...a month is more than enough time for her to re-file and re-arrange an entire office...when Mandy came back to help train Kate, she couldn't find anything in her office. So if this bit of gossip is true it has two implications: one...that she will visit, and her coming into this office makes me phyisically ill, it is bad enough with her spawn wandering around (Mr.3 has a class with her, he's devastated) but more importantly two: if she is temping again, it means that she has lost yet another job...another! you would think that a woman with a 12 page resume of jobs would think that there might be a slight problem with her work style/ethic/attitude and try to fix it. But then again if you think that you are always right...you always remained screwed.
