Murderous Musings

Rant:
I'm not saying I want to kill my boss. I'm just saying it might be enjoyable if he weren't alive any more. And I wouldn't particularly mind if I was the primary agent responsible for causing the situation which currently persists to turn into a situation that was more descriptively akin to the situation I just described above. In which he were to assume a rather permanently less animated role. Among the living. Forever.

The way things stand in my school right now, there are two possible states of affairs. I can either have my students ready for the Regents exam or I can have my class grades in on time. These are non-compatible. If someone would simply explain this to my boss I would be fine and dandy. However, since he's getting bitchy emails from above, we're all getting shat upon. I was pulled out of a proctoring session yesterday to get chewed out for not having my grades in on time. I was told I was "holding up the whole team" only to find later that I was one of three teachers (out of five!) in my grade who didn't have grades in yet. My Regents exam was yesterday. I've spent every day up to that point giving my students what they need to pass it. And all but 2 managed to do just that, thankyouverymuch.

I get the feeling he thinks we're all just sitting around not doing anything since class ended last week. I mean, it's not like there's anything we should be doing, right? Please. I haven't spent a day at school since Wednesday that was less than 10 hours long. But hey, it's not like I'm doing lots of work. It's not like I've been proctoring exams, supervising lab practicals, evaluating portfolio presentations, finalizing grades, grading exams, writing evaluations or generally attempting to organize my room. If I'd been doing all that, I'd have been tremendously busy for the last week and would be going completely batshit insane by now.

But I'm not.

So it's fine.

Ha!
