Twelfth Class Day

livingdebToday was the "twelfth class day" of the semester, which is the day our state universities make their official counts of students in order to determine how much state money they get. This day is therefore the last day for students to add and drop classes. Thus this is the last day of the deluge of desperate requests. So it was like an uber-Friday.
Next week is a few meetings that were put off until after the twelfth class day, plus I have some catching up to do. After that, I should have enough time to work on my part of the annual report and should in general start having an easier time of it at work.
I;m so glad I have one of those jobs where I only work a certain number of hours and then go home and stop working. (I did stay 30 minutes late today, but it's not like teaching or being a CEO or anything.)
In other news it was raining when I got off of work. At first it was still hot (and steamy). But by the time I got home, the temperature was actually cool. So I'm going to call today a turning point in the weather as well.
Quote of the Day - "Oh, that guy has been known to make people cry." Not me, I just felt sorry for him.
Oops, this is like those annoying Facebook posts that don't mean anything unless you already know the story. Basically, a faculty member was so angry about some ways my college had treated him in the past that he refused to answer the question I asked, saying that we ignore faculty anyway, so why bother.
However, I did not need him to answer the question; it was just a way for him to double-check my work. So, I feel bad for him, but I can still do my job, so no crying. My co-workers say he is just always vitriolic, no matter what you do. Can you imagine living your life like that?
