Yesterday was a bad day

Posted by Joel VandenBrink under

Reason 1:  Brooke’s computer broke, possibly beyond repair.

Reason 2:  Brooke and I unknowingly lost our notetaking job that we have been doing for almost 2 years because of a flippant email that we were not the first to respond to.  Someone else responded back first and so, somehow, the job that shouldn’t have been open to the public was and we didn’t get it.  Can you tell I’m angry?

Reason 3:  This past summer I was asked by someone at my school to be his TA (teaching assistant).  After initially saying yes to this and planning on it, and rearranging my life so it would work a flippant email was sent to me telling me that I couldn’t do it because  I was still a current student.  This heavily upset both myself and well as the professor.  Then, yesterday I’m checking the TA schedule for the spring term and noticed that there is a current student that is a TA — uhhh, slightly confusing to me — because the Academic Dean made such a big deal about me being a current student only 6 months prior — you’d think that he would look at all the prospective TA’s since he made such a big fuss about me.  Can you tell I’m angry?

Sometimes life gets in the way of life.
