Work

The head of another department at work doesn’t like my department. Like, to the point that she deliberately withholds information we need to complete tasks and then claims it’s our fault when our work is delayed or incomplete.

We used to be friends but, a few months back, she flipped out at me when I pointed out an issue with a change she wanted to make, and I haven’t really been comfortable around her since. It’s been a lot of scoffing, ignoring me, back handed comments, talking shit behind my back. 

Until very recently.

I’ve seen how she treats people, so I’ve been cautious. Today she proved that I was right to do so.

We have classes that students have to apply to get approval to enroll in. Once approved, a qualification is attached to their account and they can enroll online. Only issue is I recently discovered two of these classes have a glitch that was allowing anyone to enroll, regardless of whether or not they had the qualification. 

The first time I brought it up, her team reached out to the students and had them apply. Both were approved, so it was all good. Her team are the ones who build the classes, so I assumed, since they were aware of the issue, that they would fix it. But when I checked on these classes today, I discovered three more students had enrolled who shouldn’t have been able to. So I emailed her and her team asking them to contact the students, withdraw them, and ask them to apply. I also asked, again, that the problem be fixed. Because of the glitch, the only fix is to rebuild the classes (and transfer the kids over). She didn’t reply. Instead they simply removed the option to enroll in these classes online. 

There’s no note on the class saying families need to call in to enroll. We just accepted five more kids, which means none of them can enroll without calling, an issue considering I let them know they could do so online. I brought it up with one of her team members who I’m friends with and instantly got push back, informing me that the only way to fix it is to rebuild the class. 

I used to work in their department and know it would taken five minutes max. But apparently it’s too much work. Which means we’re now going to lose thousands in  revenue, which I’m going to have to tell my boss. 

We found a bunch of mistakes when they first built the classes and, since then, every time there’s an issue with the classes it’s like pulling teeth to get it fixed. But unlike the previous issues where they refused to budge, so we adjusted on our end, this is actually going to prevent people from enrolling and potentially lead us to cancelling the class. All because they don’t want to deal with a glitch that they didn’t catch and didn’t bother fixing the first time.

I don’t think you need to be friends with everyone you work with. You don’t even have to like each other! I just wish people behaved professionally in the work place. I shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells every time there’s an issue just because someone I work with takes every comment or request as a personal attack.

I’m so fucking tired.

college is supposed to be a new start for danny: one in which his “work” life and personal life stay strictly separate. but when danny moves into his new gotham university dorm for the upcoming semester, his hopes are dashed. gotham is overflowing with lost souls, and they won’t leave him alone long enough for him to finish his damn physics homework.

when mr. and mrs. wayne offer him refuge in their old study, danny thinks he’d be stupid not to take it. he wasn’t expecting their house to still be inhabited, but whatever. he can blend into the background. he’ll do anything for some peace and quiet.

now if only he can convince martha to stop trying to out him to the rest of the family.

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

I SIGNED UP FOR THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM!

it's 7 courses, roughly 20 hours each, at the culmination of which I'll have to hand in a 25k novella for a panel of Canadian authors to evaluate. so obviously I'm going to write about an ancient demon who swallows the soul of a baby and enters its body, only to get trapped and essentially regress, so that its generals have to hover around nervously trying to parent it.

lots of speculation over how round 7 between luka and till will turn out! and its had me thinking about the presence of recurring motifs and how the main ensemble are foils of each other.

i know that many people like to joke about how sua and ivan are genderbends of each other/basically siblings... but in my honest opinion, i think the parallels between the two (similar hair styles and having the more subdued personality of the pairing) are to throw us off about what we know about hyuna and luka lol.

sua and ivan's similarities are to emphasize their situational differences, highlighted by the comic where ivan expressed envy over sua not being in an unrequited love situation (yeah i know that's literally what the definition of a literary foil is, but hear me out LOL). so in that sense i feel that they're not really as similar as it seems?

i personally think that sua has more similarities to luka than she is with ivan, excluding her relationship with mizi. both in terms of their upbringing as being treated like dolls and how their resting face is kind of empty when they're not with mizi/hyuna respectively lol. plus their listless acceptance of the lethal circumstances they exist in

tbh even the childhood dynamic between mizisua and hyuluka (before the hyunwoo thing...of course...) is pretty similar, with mizi/hyuna dragging sua/luka around

i think by emphasizing the similarity between luka and sua, it reframes the events that happened in round 5. while luka probably was purposefully exploiting mizi's grief, it does come to question how much of the cutting shots between the two was mizi seeing sua in luka.

so how does this relate to round 7 between till and luka? there's a lot of speculation that luka will demolish till by pulling the same schtick he did with mizi -- and conversely there's a lot of speculation that vivinos and qmeng will subvert expectations by having till somehow overcome his depression by becoming numb to luka's tricks.

here's a third idea i haven't seen being brought up: luka seeing hyuna in till. i propose this idea because i think we can make some comparisons between till and hyuna. both of them are the most rebellious of the ensemble, both had a tendency to roughhouse as children, and both's choice of music genre is very high-powered with a heavy emphasis on the guitar (i want to say they both have that rock and roll vibe but unfortunately music isn't my forte and i don't want the genreheads to get on my ass LOL).

and now suddenly it feels like the random tidbits we get about luka's interactions with till feels like they're hinting towards something:

there are so many "if this gets (insert number) notes i'll do something productive/good for me!" but has there ever been one where someone goes

if this gets 10k notes i'll slap myself in the face

i suppose i'm wondering

would people be so eager to reblog if it would cause something slightly unpleasant?

tapping ur forehead this thing on???

(so proud of dnp for finishing the us leg of tit + so endlessly grateful to have been able to attend two shows <3)

Ok this is just 8 pages of nonsense. 😭

This is entirely inspired by the fact that I do not think Hyrule would see the Master Sword as a stronger sword than the Magic Sword. Cool and special? Sure. Stronger than the Magic Sword? Not so much. The color coding in zelda1 is really really strong (save for tektites mostly) and from that I feel like Hyrule will use the red=good blue=bad logic for lots of things.

Now, do I think that the Magic Sword is stronger than the Master Sword? No, especially if it is Sky's hot-off-the-press master sword. In Hyrule's hands I think the Magic Sword is at least on par with the Master Sword (remember his strength stat is maxed and also Hyrule is constantly wearing a power bracelet??(which I never draw lol).

Also this is so low quality but I don't think this concept deserves anything better lol.

yknow what. I wanna say: CSA and COCSA survivors are all incredible, but I also wanna give a shout out to ppl who were exposed to sexual stuff or had any kind of sexual experience as a kid that they either aren't comfortable labelling as or don't consider abuse, but they know it still fucking sucked and shouldnt have happened. Even if that changes later in life and you identify as a victim/surivor, it can be messy to have to imagine those labels applying to the ppl in ur life and that can take time.

The most important thing is to prioritize your recovery + health, and to support other victims + survivors.

Something I don't understand at all, is taking away some of the support and accommodations when things are going well?! Like surely if something is going well, you should keep those supports.
