Nitwit boss got on our office manager's case because the door to our office supplies room was left open for all to see: "I don't want any customers seeing the inside of our messy supply room..."

Get a life and stop being so freaking anal, moron.

Better yet: retire. :bleh:

First day and I suck! Work sucks! :grumble: They made me run everywhere! And I feel bad for not making a certain order right. :( I made a lot of mistakes! Don't want to get fired! :fingerscrossed:

Awwww no worries. It's ALWAYS like this in the beginning. Just don't make the same mistakes twice and you should be fine. Remeber, no matter how much you get yelled at, your Boss or manager is used to noobs, so don't take it too much to heart.

Unless, of course, you really suck. :beaten:

DUDES. I HATE the vps here. :banghead:

I get trouble straight in the morning because apparently I'm influencing the IB students in a negative way. WHen I asked the VP in what way she was talking about, she says, "Like you don't know" and walks away.

I have no idea what she's referring to. I mean, my IB grade 9s asked my opinion about the IB program and I told them that I thought it was more of a busniess than a student-driven learning experience.

I was being honest. Shtupid politics. Now rumour has it that they're going to bring this up at the Staff Meeting. If they single me out, I'm gonna cause some hardcore trouble. :grumble:

I'm going to ask a dumb question here Wyn-chan, (the Musa doesn't know all, gomen :bow: ) What does IB stand for? On topic, they've come with a new way of keeping our time here. It all goes on a server that way "No more timesheets to fill out" Management was all stoked about it until I asked, "What do we do when the server goes down?" :crazy: [/list:u]

I think is a like a GED here. Universities around the world recognize the IB as a "finished courses up to a high-school level".

Exactly.

"The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a recognized leader in the field of international education, encouraging students to be active learners, well-rounded individuals and engaged world citizens. Founded in 1968, we currently work with 1,890 schools in 124 countries to develop and offer three challenging programmes to more than 486,000 students aged 3 to 19 years."

My school happens to be one of the 1890 schools. :grumble:

The VPs are just powertripping and tend to be hypocrites. Mind you, the new one this year isn't so bad. She seems relatively fair. I hope this doesn't change. :fingerscrossed:

At the Staff Meeting, they brought up the whole IB thing and how we shouldn't influence them against the program, but I wasn't singled out. It just made me frustrated that they were basically telling us to lie to the kids. I mean, if the kids enjoy the arts, or business, or whatever, they CAN'T take the courses in those fields because the IB program focuses on Science and Math. They don't have the room to do anything but those.

So those kids who are looking towards a career in anything other than science or math are pretty much screwed. I don't think that's fair at all.
