I must have missed the opening of the portal to hell

[cornerofmadness]

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.

Oh my gosh, so sorry to hear it's going so badly. Any chance of suing that brilliant schedule creator? Gah.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think the school should. she totally refused to schedule the LABS for the science classes saying if they can't fit her blocks it wasn't happening

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yep. Sounds like hell to me.

You missed the big flashy sign that said,"Welcome to Hell" ? I was the idiot tourist standing in front of it getting my picture taken. >_<

How do these idiot people even get these jobs? Though I kinda wish I could take your parasitology class.

i must have had my blinders on

oh i want a job like consulting making tons of money for doing shit

if you get ANimal Planet tune in Sunday at 9pm EST and watch Monster Within, it'll be cooler than my class

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Yay for Animal Planet!

You really need a new job at a different school. I know, I'm stating the obvious.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the worst part is most of them are like this. I'm hearing the same thing from so many people on my academic communities. shudders

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, the only thing you learn from efficiency experts is not to hire them. :/

Sorry things are so FUBARed. ::virtually slugs scheduler on your behalf::

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh no kidding. I really wish we could vote on this sort of crap. We'd rather see that money go places other than THIS

[rahirah]

I don't suppose the school can ask for their consulting fee back...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think the administration are happy because they don't deal with the fall out. I wish they could
