Update – because I should be grading

and you all know how much I love grading

So the meeting last night started out with one person talking over me. Wanna piss me off? Talk over me. As the youngest of 5, and one of the youngest of a plethora of cousins, I have been talked over all my freakin life and I HATE IT. It’s so bloody rude, it says that you don’t care what the other person is saying, you’re far more important and they need to shut up so you can talk. For a while people were posting this meme:

I can’t even express how much that irritated me. No, you don’t just randomly remember stuff, you weren’t paying any attention to what I was saying and just jumped in when I took a breath.

Okay, that little rant is over. Well, almost. When this person did it to me last night, I corrected her, firmly and quickly and she looked seriously shocked out of her shoes. I was already angry, don’t press me. Or, as i like to say, FAFO.

Proceeding on, we were given a lengthy explanation of how no harm was meant by a certain Facebook post that riled up a bunch of people for no reason. I listened to this for about 10 minutes and finally said that there was no reason for the post to be made and it served no purpose and that something like this will not happen again. There was no “it better not happen,” it was a definitive “it WILL not happen.” Again, there was shock, apparently these people have never been told no.

Things got better after that. It was probably a good thing that the blue hair didn’t come, I was in no mood for her nonsense and it might have ended badly. At any rate, we shall see where things go from here.

    Great! You were firm and stuck to the point. It sounds like these sheep are in need of a shepherd. Good thing you’re here!

    You might have hit right on the head, “these people have never been told no.” There’s a lot the going around, no adults willing to step in and say “Enough!” You’re filling that void, pretty soon the board will be following you around like ducklings waiting to see what you’re gonna do so they know how to behave!!!

    Good for you, they need to know what is acceptable and what isn’t and learn to live with that!
