i wonder if this would rival any of my mother's numerous "day from hell"s
1) was forced to miss class when, as i was leaving i got a call from
2) the california Bar telling me that the need more information before they can certifiy me to take the bar exam but that i have to find someone to do this and before their deadline
3) spend 1h 45 mins trying to figure out exactly what they need so that i don't have to redo this again later but the front desk lady could only repeat the same directions over and over again, not comment as to their meaning, so i had to wait to talk to a supervisor to find out and
4) call around to find someone qualified to send materials and get an appointment with them this week
5) went to oakland tech, talked to kids, as i was leaving there was a "lockdown" which locked me inside the school hoping that the kids would not riot (especially against me)
6) i decided to use the time to make some copies for the class
7) i sat on the floor of the office stapling 900 pages and avioding getting shot by any stray bullets from the altercation out front.
8) as i got in my car i offered help to one of my students who was being assalted by her father on the corner, she declined
9) went home in enought time to get back to boalt but not before a call from Okland tech accusing me of stealing the copy code from the teachers room and "illegally running copies". um yes i did run and staple 900 copies, FOR THE KIDS! and in what universe would i have any motivation to steal any fucking copy code from an inter-city highschool where I go to volunteer my time??
10) turn in papers for my kids, turn in the third check which i have written to the same organization and which each time can not be depositied
11) went to registrar's office with paper proof that a grade that has been "lost" for me was infact NOT lost but was not inputted BY THE REGISTRAR. Uncovering this error has taken 4 hours of my time since they indicated that it was somehow my responsibility to rectify this error by finding this adjunct professor, getting paperwork, and returing paperwork. they indicated clearly that this was under no circumstances their job. infact previously i had been told, when i asked them to fax something to the professor that this would be only "a favor to me"... i wonder if paying my tuition would be a favor to them?
12) after returning from class to tired to get dinner i ate some red potatos and called my mothe to propose a fun filled weekend for her birthday. Upon the proposal i was berated and essentially told that my inconsiderate and completely self satisfying. I replied, "ok what would you like instead" and she replied "i don't know". "well how am i supposed to know what is an ok proposal then?" she said "i want to have brunch and go out for my birthday". however, i was again inconsiderate when asking what day she would like to celebrate, what time, and the details of what we would do that day.
13) a xanax and icecream later i was denyed from my fellowship for next year.
happy fucking monday... i feel like i am giving and giving and getting back only shit.
