Seeing Things From Another Perspective Again

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.

Yesterday I got to have lunch with the guidance counselor, something she has been asking for weeks now.

I also wanted to talk to her, as well as the mission office head, about my current and future status.

As it turns out though, she already knew because she was also approached about the possible replacement.

But what I did not know what the other people, maybe the students, maybe other teachers, maybe some staff, have asked her about me as well, and seeing as she views me as her immediate boss, a thing that I definitely do not feel or lord over her, she was of the mind that she had to defend me.

This goes all the way back to the denial of the car show and my non-attendance of the last two big college student events.

I appreciated the gesture, and I told her as much but I do not see how much good it actually did.

I mean, these people who were spreading these things around obviously had already made their own judgment already.

If they, such as the dean, wanted to hear my side of the story, they would have come to me in the first place, right?

But at the very least I did get to tell her about how I think the people around me were making it more difficult to work, such as I have already detailed here about the dean coming up with suggestions that for me were off the left field, and the secretary of the office of student affairs being blindly supportive of student activities despite their not being feasible and having hidden agendas, or just being manipulated.

@@ Something did bother me somewhat, when I told her about having talked to the heads (former president and VP last year) of the political party in school that was not able to field any candidates to the recent elections.

I told them that their actions of signing the boycott letter that was precipitated by not caring anymore about the postponement of the elections because they did not have any candidates in the first place, cost me my job.

The guidance counselor asked me directly if I told them that, and I said I did. Somehow, despite her having said she was my friend and that she was just being honest, that she still held back her opinion there.

I told her that I could not believe that after our one year of working together well that they would just accept all the one sided arguments that the student council of the recently concluded school year without asking them if they have talked to me about it before writing the letter.

He even told me about the sports fest complaints that they had, which they did not bring up during our meeting because it really did not help their point at all, and that is why I believe they had outside help.

Anyway, there really is not anything I could do about them within the bounds of decency, and even if I did not subscribe to those limits, there is no point about writing a public record of it here.

Session 3057 feels like the maid to be executed. Class dismissed.
