Day after day.
Finally figured out what was going on. It's not black depression; it's repressed anger.
Another set of meetings with the staff at the first school. Final day today, director took my name off the certificates so his was the only name on it. Was supposed to give a lesson on some things, put it online, but the admin didn't show up until 9:40 and we were deep into the activity so it was late. Supposed to be there by 8:30. She's also (wincing, unable to meet my eyes) booked 35 students into the next session, with no student aides.
Well, that's going to be SPECIAL.
She's not hitting the mark, but to be fair, she didn't sign up for this. Neither did I, really, which is what makes it special. Lots of passiveaggressiveness going around, especially from the director, who moans about the "budget" but doesn't distribute it. I take this to read that he's having real problems with the Admin, who's blown a lot of the budget off the map.
Not the best start. Not the best conversation. He's insistent that we keep costs down, so we're going to have to limit the lab assistant's hours. I'm insistent that with 35 students I'm going to need both lab assistants full time. He notes that he writes the checks, so there ya go.
The class was originally set for 25.
As for the afternoon, Contract won't occur until the 21st--last day of class. No one has a clue. Fly by night again. I'd walk, but that would completely screw the students--three transfers and the rest. Not their fault and if they didn't complete the course they'd be bounced out of the school.
So...this is all competely fucked up. And nothing I can do about it, except help out where I can. Can't depend on the admins in either place.
Must mean that I'm
