Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Less than a hundred posts today before I hit the two thousand mark.

No break from the regular schedule for this minor landmark, especially since I consider today's topic to be just as significant.

During the weekend one of the things I had affirmed is that birds of a feather really do stick together, and that it is true what the Peter Principle says about people at work rising to their level of incompetency - and finding out why that may be true.

Slacker co-teacher, just like in the last two trips of the college faculty, brought his own car for him and his friends to ride in.

During the team building, this led to them not being part of the first activity in the bus, and left out when we returned to that later.

Now there was another use: when - during the orientation the head of the retreat house said there would be a power failure from 12 midnight to 3am (which stretched to 430am) S.C.T. was already planning to go to their rest house nearby (but in another town) to sleep, on the chance of avoiding the lack of electricity.

He brought with him three other people, including a female co-teacher who had a crush on him that his fiance before got jealous of.

Also with them was the guidance counselor who wasn't doing her job, and who the secretary told me had been caught by one of the administrative directors to be shopping in a nearby mall on a day that she skipped work claiming to be sick.

The secretary also told me that these newly promoted faculty who were supposed to attend a two-day seminar, the second day of which was declared a holiday at the last minute, didn't show up.

The brother president is still waiting for their letter on why they did that, a month after the occurence. At least it was from his own observance that he noted them being missing during the second day of the retreat, when, not surprisingly, they were late for breakfast and the first session in the morning.

Session 1901 should have more sense than the dean not to look at just the positive side of the employees' behavior but the sum total of their bad points, and which is greater. Class dismissed.
