Morning Babbles w/a side order of ranting
*mental note or just go mental* must remember to get a pound of Pirate's Brew when at mall later in the day. *points to icon - 'nough said*
Well, I received a call from the AC about an hour ago, I explained a little more in detail why I'm not able to attend. He was very understanding and said that there will always be a place for me at the College when things start looking up - which isn't as bad as I thought. I had briefly mentioned about correspondence courses and he's also reassured me that whatever courses I take through cc they will be excepted as part of my credits that I need for my diploma.
It's good to know that when I try this again I won't be turned away. Though I still feel miserable about it.
Now onto more irritating news....
While I was at the orientations (Monday and Tuesday), Willy's speech pathologist called and got rather lippy with Mum. As bad rather acidic as Mum can be she has never been rude to people (specialists, et al) on the phone. Poindexter gave Mum crap because I wasn't home to take her calls and that she's more important then my education. I have to call this one back and set her straight on quite a few things.
Like the fact that the last time we spoke, I explained to her that I was going back to school, but I would continue to make the follow-up appointments once I received my class schedule (the college didn't see a problem with that because the classes are geared to be flexible), she said that would be acceptable since she had openings and reschedule (herself) if need be.
This poindexter thinks she far more intelligent then I am, thinks that she knows how/what my son is doing - this person only sees him just under an hour maybe every other month (if that). Then she starts on a power trip. I wanna know what gives her the right to talk down to me thinking she knows my child better than I do.
[sarcasm]Well Ms. Know-it-all you might have a bloody alphabet soup at the end of your name, and spent 3 years in university but that does not make you an expert on other people's children. You must listen to what the parent is telling you and than give feedback, but that's too much for you. If you want to be an expert on children - have children of your own. Then maybe you'll understand what it's like to be on this side of the fence when someone starts talking down at you, telling you that there's something wrong other then just mild speech impediments/articulation issues.[/sarcasm]
Now that I have that out of my system (for now anyway), must go see what the boy is up too. He's too quiet over at his desk....
*heh* he's up to something, he just gave me a devilish grin.
