I just popped by to say hi.
So... were is everyone? Did Alice leave? How are you doing, Turncoat? Did Inquirer leave? Who are all these people? I don't think I recognize a single one.
I was thinking of making a huge rant post to feel better because I'm feeling down. I'm not seeing my wife, or anyone else for that matter. It seems like my main job now is chasing people and whipping them to work because the big bosses don't want to do it themselves. It's like I'm trying to be the greatest and shittiest supervisor at the same time. It's kind of difficult. I should probably pick a side.
I just had a student come swear at me because her presentation was cancelled. Kids these days have no respect. I didn't even need to arrange that presentation for her in the first place. I cancelled all her next presentations and now giving her crap-tasks for the next 3 weeks, see if her behavior improves.
I stopped organizing coffee breaks because apparently everyone is too busy to take 10 minutes to sit down and say hi to people. But it makes me hate covid. I'm a social person. Being unsocial is killing me. I need some kind of a new outlet.
