I must have missed the opening of the portal to hell

but I've been sucked into it. The faculty are insane. Our students are in tears of frustration. I'd love to sock that 'expert' they hired to fix the schedule right in her smug face. She has left us with an absolute disaster that we're scrambling to fix which means canceling sections, moving sections and creating even more conflicts.

Started anatomy today only to find out the folder i put on line is NOT the right one and in fact the right folder is totally missing from my hard drive...

Started parasitology to find out there are now conflicts and no possible lab time except maybe to bang them into my anatomy lab. Here's your scopes, here's your parasites, observe while i handle the 20 others who are trying to wrestle with bones and muscles.

started the parasitology lecture only to find out the brand new computer smart desk isn't hooked up to the damn internet where my lectures live. One of thestudent points out the jack is out of the wall for the internet. I push it in and it still doesn't work so I log in as a guest and run back to my office to put the lectures on flashdrive....

student who knows me well sees me racing around all day today and asks what's wrong...

physiology has a class roster that changes hourly and no one knows WHO is in it.

please shoot me.

the sucky day and the what to read problem were rescued

by a giant influx of manga for me to review for Manga jouhou

And this day needed rescuing since we learned at the meeting tonight that they expect us to cover each other's classes. What is this? HIgh School? I could see it maybe if we were out for a week or two? as if we're that flexible.

and then i think my freezer has had one too many power outages. The cauliflower was horrid so i tossed it without cooking. The broccoli looked good. Oh it wasn't. what as waste of wine and garlic to go with... Ithink it's time to defrost that freezer and toss it all out and start over.

And really the what to read was horrible. THis was my yesterday evening read in the tub ritual.

First I had tried to pick up last years Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan book from the library and saw too i swore I never read. I remembered one of them once i had it home. Took a hundred pages to realize i had read the other (apparently the whole melodrama of two men leaving her the same day was too much for my brain and it barfed it out) so i put them aside.

Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen is unexpectedly dull for her so I moved on to Dance of the Thundering Dogs, one of my Native American mysteries. We spend the first 30 pages with the main character whining about home not being home then he sleeps with someone he hasn't seen since high school IN the high school spontaneously (talk about your male fantsies. Sorry but I've never been moved to chuck my panties for an old classmate the moment he'sback in MY orbit). Then looking at the flap i see it's one of the cop is accused of murder stories and must clear himself. That is SO overdone so I tossed it.

Next came Chelsea Quinn Yarbo, a thriftstore buy. In the first 20 pages it opens with a dystopian future (whihc I hate) and the lead female is nearly raped (okay it was written in the 70's i thought maybe she'smaking a statement about the powerlessness of women at that time), then has her nipples cut off, is rescued before she's raped by the dude she picked up five minutes before and she starts whining she wanted it to be HIM that tried to sleep with her. Uh what? we're running for our lives, you've known him five minutes, someone jsut cut off part of your body and that's what you're thinking? ....

So tons and tons of manga to make things better. With my luck they'll suck and I have to read them.
