I am so mad.
OMG…OMFG...I am SO mad. I am so mad I can’t even tell you. But I’ll try anyway-
Okay, so I was all cool-and-the-gang with teaching my ridiculously large roster of students (81) - a 22% increase over last term - because they are doing away with the course. Which is a shame and dim-witted, but that’s fine, whatever, not my business, right???
Oh! But I’m sure that doesn’t stop people from needing the course to graduate if they came in under a certain catalogue or some such bullshit. Or everyone want to get in on the action so they turn it into a f-ing free-for-all.
SO….YEAH! Here I am, drinking my coffee, preparing for my morning writing, and I log in. I see my super-cute welcome banner thingie I made, and think: Man, I can do this. Bless their hearts-they need me. And I’m going to help each and everyone of those 81 students.
And then I see….those…@!#$%^%^& !@#$#$%% dumped 69 more students on me!!!! For a grand total of 150 students - a 208% increase!!!! Are you f-ing kidding me???? WTF????
I am livid, furious and probably having a damned aneurysm as I type this diatribe.
The fact that I didn’t use the F-word anywhere in my emergency email to my “senior faculty coordinator” is remarkable. The fact that I didn’t copy and paste this giant ASCII-art middle finger into that email is also noteworthy.
I am soooo pisssssseddd offffffffff.

Alright. This WILL be dealt with.
I honestly do not know how I can possibly be the kind of instructor I am to 150 students. It’s too much! Oh, and if they think they are getting four-for-the-price-of-two, they can totally blow me.
That being said, can people check me for libel??
I’m not mentioning any names-and it’s all f-ing TRUE.
So…anyway, this rant took me longer than I thought it would. It’s getting late in the morning and I’m starving!!!
I’ve been gnawing at my bitter rage for nourishment.
I’m thinking French Toast would be better.
Oh! And kiddies! I’m just going to give you the ol’ nudge-nudge, wink-wink here: I may not have to deal with F-U(-over) online school much longer…there may be something in the works!!!!
More when I’m allowed to spill!
XOXOXOXOX
