Are You Kidding Me?

Back in May I went to an interview to be a writing tutor in the writing lab at my college.

The interview, I thought, went horribly. The interviewer was rude...she spoke down to me and insulted me. It was really the strangest interview.

For example, she asked me what my favorite thing to write was and I replied, "monologues" which prompted her to ask, "Oh, so you love to bore people to death?" it was so uncomfortable. Then if telling me I was boring people to death because of my favored writing pieces, she went into an odd diatribe of how her husband bores her with his "monologues". I just laughed uncomfortably with a "WTF?" look on my face.

At one point she was discussing the mandatory training meetings every Friday at 2 and she got really snarky and said, "Every Friday your butt belongs to me so don't even think about making other plans" in this horrible catty tone (I wish I could play a clip of it for you). I just looked at her and said, "Wow, I won't even talk to my children that way." I had had it with the insulting tone and the way she talked down to me so I wrote the interview off...our personalities were just not meshing. She ended the interview with "I'll call you by Friday and let you know."

The Friday came and I received no phone call...I didn't expect to after getting snarky back with her and went on with the summer.

I just logged on to my student email account and found a couple very recent emails in there about scheduling and a tutor survey...apparently she FORGOT to call and offer the job to me?

Seriously? How does that happen?

Of course, I can't take the job...we have full on scheduling conflicts now that I could have avoided had I been notified she offered me the job.

Morning News!

This is a clip from one of our local morning news broadcasts. We stopped watching this station when another began a morning news program. They wanted to show a fun opening scene with dogs at a local puppy day spa...this clip pretty much speaks for itself...

Random Thought

When "they" (whoever they are) named a quack--the sound that comes from a duck--did they name it because it actually sounds like "Quack"? What about "meow"? They clearly are named after the sounds so then how did they become actual words? The sound a baby makes when it cries is not "cry" but more like "waaah" so why wasn't that made into an actual word?

Odd Question...

I have so much homework to do I can hardly keep it all straight! Yet while I'm trying to sort it all out I wonder...

Why do we have to label major news stories?

Ya, I know. It's a weird thought. But just think about major news stories they are ususally called "terror on the _____" or "Nightmare in ______". Who came up with the idea to label a horrible situation with a horrible name and why? So while I'm reading about Child Development, Algebra and Human Sexuality this topic will also be floating around my little brain.
