So I’ve been in class the last couple of weeks, so it was nice this morning to be able to come in and just leisurely tear down and clean up the classroom. I went into the classroom and sat down at the instructor computer that faces the students - looked at the posters in the back of the room and saw this picture - notice what type of Expectations we are listing - they are actually Class Expectations - but I had put a geography poster that one of the students made partially over the list - and this morning - this just really made me laugh - it was like that for almost the entire class - oops! :)
So as I’m cleaning up the classroom, I realize that one of the computers was locked out so I need to call the help desk to get the password reset. We have an automated system to unlock passwords and thought I would try it - it turned out to be automated system hell! I spoke the user name - and it didn’t recognize it - so I tried it again and it still didn’t understand - I tried a third time and it interrupted me mid speaking and started giving me the information that it had - which was wrong - in frustration I pressed 0 hoping I could speak to an operator. It told me that it would be a less than 3 minute wait - after 5 minutes I decided that I was probably being punished and would have to wait longer since I zeroed out. At least I got to enjoy my favorite part of calling the help desk - ‘Please Hold.’
As I was sitting waiting for the help desk to answer - I was looking out the windows of the classroom that open up to a covered walk on the side of the building. It seemed odd to me that there was a woman walking with her umbrella up along the covered walkway - it made me laugh - which is always a good thing.
And last but not least - a friend of mine was talking about going on some dates from an online dating service and first started talking about how this guy reminded her of some kind of stalker and then she started referring to him as a serial killer - yeah - sounds like fun!
