Made it through

[cornerofmadness]

I'm pretty sure the other faculty members could pinpoint the moment my soul left my body. I have NO idea why this meeting was necessary. Okay yes faculty development days are part of the contract but they had NOTHING for us. The provost just babbled and name dropped....his own family and his achievements elsewhere WTF? The health department dude merely said the same stuff we covered in a 2 hour zoom meeting a few weeks ago so why was that necessary?

Even MORE unnecessary were the workshops we usually do but they weren't prepared, making them up this week. One was just a few of us talking about how they're using blackboard and the other one was HOW to do things in Blackboard. OMG why wasn't that done MONTHS ago. The really disturbing part was they now expect us to use gradebook but BB isn't calculating it right and you have to get into the guts and change it. How do I disable that thing?

The only high points were a) our chair blowing off the half hour 'mull over and discuss those pointless talks' and just holding the school meeting then so we didn't have to come back at 2 b) our president talking about the fact we should get compensated for all our extra work with this and that we're up 7% so that's very good. I was happy to hear that. C) Since they asked us to bring our laptops, I wrote through most of it.

I got BB ready for monday. I got things printed out and then found an email from 8pm yesterday with something new for the syllabi you know the ones that were due last week. I just put it on BB and was done with it. At least I got home early.

I finished my allbingo Bingo with a story that ended up MUCH longer than I thought. Nothing on the big bang of course.

I was very sad to see Chadwick Boseman died. Fuck cancer.

Too tired to finish that fandom meme still.
