Hmm, he just went into the boss' office and the door closed behind him.

He'll probably get a raise out of this, the asshole. :shakehead:

I can attest to that.

Just got back from our annual "Business Code of Conduct" training. For some reason, when they got to the part about "Ethics in the Workplace" everyone burst out laughing.

Well I always wanted to teach, and teaching Fine Arts (and Digital Art) is just perfect for me. With a Master's degree I'll be able to teach studio art on the University level.

It's really cut-throat here for teachers. I just got really lucky. I still have friends I graduated with who haven't found a job yet, but being a teacher is a really good job in Canada. I love it.

Wow, what periods? We did a brief study of Jomon (12, 000 to about 290 B.C.E. I think) all the way to the Edo period. But for my masters I have to focus on a medium. I was thinking architecture, but I might end up doing ceramics. I was thinking painting, but I've covered painting from Art of China, so I don't wanna overlap my studies too much.

pre-Chinese examples of Japanese architecture are pretty fun from that time, but so are their examples of Chinese architecture. You want to see Tang Dynasty buildings? You'll have to go to Japan...which seems weird in a way.

Really? Awesome. I've studied Chinese painting from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qin Dynasty. But architecture is a whole new ball game for me.

I did a unit on Asian Art in general with my grade 10s, and the majority of them liked Chinese art better than Japanese. I wasn't too surprised. I think Japanese art is more hard and edgy, vulgar even, when it comes to expressions and line movement. Chinese art is softer and I suppose more appealing to untrained eyes.

Yeah, the Todaiji is a good example. The Japanese were good at preserving things like that.

Ah, c'mon, you mean those students didn't like art like the painting of the Heike abducting the emperor?

The Genji emperor? LOL! To be honest, my students really enjoyed paintings depicting horses. Dancing horses, ridden horses, pasturing horses. Go figure. Inner city kids greatly amuse me.

Yeah, the painting was of the abduction of Go-Shirakawa...it has all kinds of blood spurting, that's pretty cool, lol.

Your students probably liked the horses because it's something outside of their world. And horses are nice animals :)

Graduation pic for your avatar? :good:

correction, i could have ruled your former Period 1 class. :twisted:

One of our managers left today, and one of the janitors left as well. We took up collections for each, the manager got about $40, the janitor a little over $100. Somebody said, "That's because the janitor is more important to the company" Truth hurts, ne. :hehe:

:hehe:

The janitor we'll need to money too. His salary is a fraction of the manager's. :(

If he is, I don't wanna know... I'll go into an instantaneous puking fit.


As fate would have it, I had to help setup this dipshit's new monitor for him, since he's an incompetent boob...

Another disgustingly humiliating experience.

Yea, it's the only graduation pic I have from Uni. I lost all the others. Ah well, what can you do. And ya know, I never did pick up my highschool diploma. :sweat:

I got this urge to go into the boss' office and tell her that I don't like how they handled that situation with that idiot: you don't reward people for not wanting to do their job and stomping out of the building like a three-year old. :shakehead:
