Back in the saddle again - Semester trios
1. Last week was really hectic, juggling work at the hospital and teaching OB clinicals. Although orientation day was short, the prep work took a lot out of me. Unlike my co-adjunct professor, who barrowed my work from last semester and didn’t even bother to update it, I actually spent time upgrading my info and actually planning incentives for my new cohort of students to succeed. This seems like a good group, and hopefully I can actually maximize their experience.
2. Finally, my Beverly Lewis book from Amazon.com came in! It’s very hard to put the book down, and I can almost picture Lancaster, PA from her descriptions.
3. I had a very negative experience at New Leaf Market last week. Normally, the employees and managers are happy and positive. The gist of a very long rant is that the manager, Lisa, not only acted snobbish to me for asking a simple question, she also verbally dressed down the new employee--in front of me (the customer)-about the company policy and how “they do not hold any type of food (in this case, vacuumed packed, ready to eat Palak Paneer) for anybody!” Okay, I get the message, but did you have to embarrass the poor girl on her first day!? Since it was the manager (with no one over her readily available), I had to type an email the next day to their website, hoping I would reach Lisa’s superior and curtailing her from making anyone else’s life miserable. The bad news is that New Leaf is the only really good whole food and/or organic market in town, so I may have just burned my bridge.
4. Abbie ate half an apple on her own today. She’s really trying to be independent. Saturday, she walked up to another little girl in a store and gave her a hug, but shied away from the group of girls who approached her later. I’m guessing the other child really needed a hug b/c Abbie usually isn’t bashful in groups.
5. Yarg, I hate hay fever!
Btw: thank you everyone for your symathy and prayers.
