Students all got the day off for MLK holiday today, but the teachers had to report for regular hours as an inservice day. Then at 10 AM we had a faculty meeting.
Anyone who has known me for any amount of time knows that I hate meetings. No, not just hate. That's just not strong enough. I despise, loathe, detest sitting and listening to people talking. I am not an "aural" learner anyway, so it's a complete waste of my time. Give me a written transcript of it, and I'll be much more likely to retain the information. The only thing I hear and retain is music. Words -- phoo! They're in one ear and out the other. A sweet piano riff, on the other hand, and I'm so there.
Well, this meeting was exactly the type of meeting that I hate MOST -- the kind where grievances are aired. If someone were to attempt to devise the most vicious sort of torture device for me, it would be making me sit and listen to people complain and run through their individual situations in detail for the entire room of a hundred faculty. I'm sorry... I just don't CARE who's continually tardy to your insipid class. Take it up with the administration on your own. Don't waste my time. PLEASE. In fact, maybe that's how your STUDENTS feel. /bitter invective

I've recovered from yesterday's fun and games, but I think it's ironic that this week is the week that someone else is scheduled to play the keyboard -- obviously this was planned before yesterday, but it's fitting that I should get benched. Heh.
