Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

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

Going back to what I was discussing yesterday: was I supposed to wait for the road to clear and then follow the staff excursion.

Who knows how long I would have waited at that point? Most likely it would have been at least until midday before it was back to so-called normal, if not longer. I do not know; I did not stick around long enough to find out.

Instead I traveled the roads further south, away from the traffic congestion, and put it out of my mind.

But the way my immediate superior put it, it was the most logical thing I should have done, in hindsight.

I guess that just epitomizes our working relationship for the entire school year. Given my independence, I would not consult with her unless I was really at a quandary about my decision-making.

And then I would be blindsided from out of the left field with a question from her about something I should have done.

And I would be so internally flabbergasted that in my stuttering to defend my actions, it looks like I am just fishing for excuses.

But then again, it will never do to ask the boss if she is out of her mind, unless one is sure about being on the way out already, and I am not the kind to do something like that at that time either.

Going back to our meeting in her office yesterday though, naturally afterwards she asked me who I think my replacement should be.

I first said it should be our recent graduate board passer engineer and former student council president.

Of course that was shot down, as I knew it would be, because that guy has to concentrate on his Master of Science studies.

The same is apparently true with a current CS professor moonlighting as the faculty adviser of the student publication.

So that left me with one more name of someone with so much rapport with the students, particularly the student leaders, and is very opinionated about how things should be run with student activities.

This someone is all about asking what the thrust of our office is for the school year again, as if that is foremost in every decision that we make instead of just getting by day by day without burning down the school.

I wish this someone would accept the position, just so that someone else would do to her what she did to me.

Payback, as they say, is a bitch, and this is someone with lots of that just waiting in the wings to be remitted.

And even if she does not accept the position and just continues badgering whoever will take on the job, sooner or later she will meet up with someone who will put her in her place, that she is all talk and no action.

Session 3045 knows that being of a strike agitator mentality, working in the wings, is cowardly. Class dismissed.
