Especially if it's your immediate manager. :thumbsup:

i've got NO backup. 9/10ths of the company is usually against me. i think im going to write in a timebomb stored procedure to delete everything if i get fired.

I think he realized that he was wrong after the engineering manager backed me up. :mrgreen:

I think you should come over here and have a good talk with MY VP. Btw, that really nasty VP I keep ranting about is the one who invited the Fish! people to come to our school. :mad:

That'll only work if they let you get back to your desk and access your PC...

i'll have it in place tomorrow. :grumble:

So I finally got my marks done. In my Film and Video class (grade 11), I have 25 students. I'm failing 11. That means I have to do 11 call homes... :grumble:

How awesome would it be to be able to take a Film and Video class? Beats Metal Shop hands down :hehe:

LOL!

The cool thing for me is that I got the "make" the class. I'm also the only teacher who gets to teach it, so really I can do whatever I want.

I actually showed my kids Survive Style 5+. :hehe:

Seriously though, I was born 20 years too early. I would have loved to be able to do that.

With you as teacher of course :muack:

Kids these days really do have such grand variety and options. Too bad they don't realize it until it's too late.

Even tho I'm failing half the class? ;)

Yeah, but I wouldn't fail :)

LOL! Your son must be proud of his dad. ;)

The one kid I told you guys about who keeps blowing kisses at me while I'm teaching is getting 24% in my class. So I called mum. When he showed up today to class, instead of complaining that I had called home, he says, "So you finally got to meet my mom. Next step, marriage."

:shakehead:

You're obviously too much of a distraction to him ;)

He wasn't like this when I taught him last year. He managed to pass that course (Media Arts). I think he managed a 47% and I bumped him up to a 52%.

Hmmm. Too kind maybe ;) His hormones have obviously got the better of him this year.

I hear that the year my son is in has a LOT of problems. There's been a few letters go out to say that some kids are not completing their studies enough to graduate :sweat: Luckily, my boy isn't one of them..

It's not half the class, it's ONLY 44% [/list:u]

47% is passing!!! :shocked: I seem to recall that when I was in high school anything below 70% was considered failing!!! Geez, no wonder these kids are so dumb. :shakehead: [/list:u]

But I didn't say that 47% was a pass... :headscratch: I meant that he passed with a 52% because I bumped him from the 47% he initially acquired. Bad sentence structure on my part. Sumimasen. :sweat:

Counting down the days til I change jobs. :sweat:
