Administration

Well, the topic hasn't changed yet so I figured I'd be safe to post another "open mic" comment.

I have always tried to have faith in my boss no matter where it was that I worked. I like to think the best of people. However, the past two school days has caused me to lose ALL faith in the administration of my asylum. The wardens called a meeting of the 9th grade team on Friday. We were to be in the room by 8:15 sharp. Well, all 10 of us were there at 8:10 patiently awaiting our wardens to address whatever the issue was. At 8:20 we called to see why they weren't there. We were told they were coming. At 8:30 we called again, still no answer. The AP finally came down at 8:43 (the bell rings at 8:45) and asked what we needed to talk about (THEY called the meeting, not us! However, we came up with an agenda while we were waiting). We told him there was no way we could even begin a discussion in 2 minutes time and get somewhere. So, after wasting 10 hours of planning, he said we'd all meet on Monday, same time (8:15) and same place. So I arrive at 8:10 this morning (however, I brought papers to grade with me this time) and, sure enough, sat there until 8:30 with no one coming from administration to the meeting. All of this has caused my day to be completely thrown off. I wasn't prepared when my second period class came in so I "winged it" with all my morning classes this morning. It has gone so well that I will continue to do the same this afternoon. (I had them create a powerpoint slide for Black History Month covering an African American in a health related field). Anyway, to think that I will be going to waste my time sitting on administration again is a joke. We are having a faculty meeting after school today and half of me is saying to completely blow them off because obviously they don't care about their staff. The other part of my has this gnawing in my conscious that if I don't go, I may not have a job tomorrow. Needless to say, the faith is GONE.
