I love collegues who ******** up. Really, I do. Especially when they ******** up twice in one day, get in a verbal tiff with me, and make themselves look like asses. It's great. I love it.
Further explaination:
Topic One: The Incentive. See, we give kids a fun time when they have turned in all of their work. Well, my fellow collegues all decided next week would be the day that the event is held. We decided this in October. Today, my collegue decided to take it upon himself to plan another trip on the same day, taking away half of the kids. I told him that we already had something scheduled, and his reply was "so, just cancel the party." At lunch, I asked him again to have his thing wrapped up by lunch, so I could do the afternoon. His response, "oh that's a stupid thing, if you ask me it's all stupid." He proceeded to storm away. My fellow collegues had a good time laughing at that while we finished lunch.
But first, Topic Two: The Cliques. We've been having issues with the girls spreading rumors and doing the normal nasty girl stuff. So, I mention to said collegue that we should get together with everyone, plan for a day to hammer it into the kids that the stuff isn't acceptable, and basically deal with it in one fell swoop. He said "that won't do very much," to which I replied "no, but it's something." I thought all was clear, but I guess not. He took it upon himself today to full out ream the girls in the classes with issues. So much so that he pulled individual girls and just yelled at them outside. When I got them, they looked like they had their hearts ripped out. At lunch (the same lunch above, before the storm out) I asked him what he did, namely what he said to the girls. He sidestepped the question, and I asked again. He said "what does it matter?" I said "because the girls basically shut down." His response: "Good." Now, if you ask me, yelling at someone with the goal of making them shut down isn't a very "teachery" thing to do. Then I brought up the thing above, and he stormed out. I told my other collegues what I said above, about how I wanted to plan something so we could hit all angles, and how he took it into his own hands. As a result, he looks like an a** right now, and frankly, I couldn't care less. It's funny how things sometimes work out.

@ Soleq - That collegue totally sounds like an a**. Your plans for talking to the girls would have had more of an impact on them, then just singling people out, and giving them hell. When it comes to girls and rumours, group interventions are always a much better way to go about things. It brings them all together, rather than breaking them apart even more. You should kick your collegue, and then crack him over the head with a pan full of common sense.
I've gotten most of my marks back. 3.33 GPA so far. I got an A, A-, B+ and a C+... The C+ was in Intro to Social Work. That class was horrible. It only talked about the history of social work, which I honestly don't give damn about. Home pretty much sucks... I don't even care about Christmas anymore. I just want this month to be over so I can go back to BC. *sigh*

I won't get mine for another 2 weeks or so, but I still have 2 finals left tomorrow. Yes, I know tomorrow is Saturday too...bleh And happy birthday to you, Leviticus.

AraTeran Intro to social work? Is that a major related class? And congrats on the grades. I won't get mine for another 2 weeks or so, but I still have 2 finals left tomorrow. Yes, I know tomorrow is Saturday too...bleh And happy birthday to you, Leviticus. It sure is. All my classes are 'major' related. I'm in the Social Work certificate program. There's no room in our schedules to take any electives. I have 7 classes, plus a practicum next semester... Over 30 hours of class, plus whatever I spend at the elementary school where my placement is. Its going to be hell. I understand the whole finals on Sat thing though. My psych final last year was on a Sat morning... At 9 am... What college student is up at that time???? haha... I hope you do well though!!! Edit: My final grades are in, and my GPA is still 3.33... I suppose I'm happy with it.

The people at Costco are idiots. They gave me a computer that was $200 more expensive than the one I paid for.
Instead of 512 RAM, 60GB HDD, AMD Athalon 2.0GHz, I got 1024MB RAM 80GB HDD, and 1.73GHz Centrino/Pentium M.
But I'm not complaining. Now my laptop owns most of my friends desktops. biggrin DDD

Not bad Laurel. Those are pretty nice specs. And yes, the people at Costco must hate the actual corporation. I've gone there countless times and found that I've received things for free because they didn't scan the items. For example, my 7ft. cat tree. Kind of hard to miss, but yet, they did.

Yeah, I've still got nothing on the new apple processors... but I just didnt want to wait.
Hell, Costco was the first place we looked today and I saw the HP Pavilion with the other specs and I was all "That one" just cause I was sick of searching for something I couldn't find. What I want for 1k is just.... impossible. My father didn't wanna get it, but he did. Now he's glad. Those idiots. I can't wait. Only six more days untill I get to play with it.

I love how he beats the s**t out of me, and then I get screamed at for it. Like tonight for instance... He started shoving me, and I did nothing. I sat down, and he continued to push me, so I gave him a light shove, and he punched me, and continued to punch me, no doubt trying to see how far he could get before I snapped. And I didn't rise to the bait. Which pissed him off even more, so he started smacking me in the head. Now, I have a migraine, and I'm not really in the mood to go to the hospital for a demoral shot, because my head hurts enough to make me puke. So I grabbed his pinkie and twisted it. Which earned me the backside of his hand, upside my head. And then he tried to break my wrist, so I dug my nails into his arm... Anyway, to keep this shorter, he ended up smashing me over the head, with a plastic tube full of metal beads. And my mum came down and started freaking out on me because of it.
They all wonder why I left, that's the reason. I don't need to be this family's punching bag... Physical or emotional. And he doesn't get that I'm going to be a social worker... In four months, I will have my certificate, and I will be obligated to report this kind of stuff. I know its not a one time deal for him, cause he's been beating the s**t out of me since our father left. I know that he has an abusive personality. A blind person could see it. He's so much taller than everyone, so when he wants to get his way, he stands have a centimetre away from you, and glares down until you give him what he wants. I don't even know what to do anymore. I hate coming back here. I want out.
