I shouldn't waste time wondering
Am I really this bad at my job? Because I KNOW I'm not. I haven't graded much of these bone tests (which were easier than normal as Covid accommodation) other than page one of the first group on tuesday. 2 had a perfect score, another couple missed a few but over 85% missed between 25-32 out of THIRTY FOUR on page one. I could have made it open book and these people wouldn't have a clue. They were crying in the hall. I'm sorry but you are trying to go into HEALTHCARE. You can't come in and half ass it.
And there is only so much you can chalk up to Covid. For that matter, these students had more than the average student had in the past. They had my list of things to know since day one. They've had VIDEOS of me going over it for 2 months. They had an online dissected cadaver with NOTHING but what I expected them to know. I have never seen scores this bad. I'm sorry but you don't get to pass just because 2020 is hard.
As for my other job, I had to ask them to check my sales. In two months they're saying I only sold TWO copies of Cassadaga Nights. That zero has sold on Amazon (so if you did buy my novella on AMazon can you please let me know because something isn't right here). I have about a dozen reviews, which granted some could have been arcs for reviews. But even more than is Amazon not reporting sales (I do expect sales to be sluggish because of 2020) is if this honest to fuck only sold two copies, what is the point of a sequel.
Yes they asked me to write a sequel, several reviewers wanted a sequel, some of my editors wanted a sequel. But if this thing literally was dead on arrival why should I bother? If I were a publisher I wouldn't waste time on that?
Damn, why can't I have a nice post for once?
I'll bbl with my nano count
ETA - WTF? HOW?!?
