As if things at Workdurkistan couldn't get any worse.. I've been asked to only be on campus during my program time. Why, you might ask? Apparently whoever is going to be in this position (me, currently) has to spend between 80 and 90% of their time directly interfacing with students. This was news to me, and I'm guessing Good Boss as well, though we haven't debriefed yet. Interesting that this crucial point wasn't communicated until now; even more interesting that it wasn't communicated until after I finally stood up for myself yesterday, to the utter disdain of Bad Boss. Funny how these things play out..

I quit. With no plan. It's sort of refreshing, actually.

Last day is December 15th.. I refused the offer of a staff party. What's there to celebrate?

Job leads welcome!

And it sets in: Depression with a capital D. What was previously frustrating has become pointless; apathy is the big D's primary calling card. Will taking a day off help? Probably not. I usually combat Big D with structure and routine.. except that now, the structure and routine of my job is the root of the issue. A day off would likely consist of napping and moping, neither of which I need more of. And part of me just doesn't buy the idea that a vacation equals new-found perspective on an issue.. don't you just return to the same situation once it's over?

Also, the GRE's on Saturday. Surely I can muster up the energy to take a four-hour long test, right? Maybe?

This has become the longest day at work ever.. and FT days usually fly by. Only three more hours to go!

Words / phrases I could do without ever hearing again:

- Faggot
- Nigga
- Hella retarded

... There are more, but these are my top three of the moment. If I was allowed to actually implement expectations for this center, I might be able to hold students accountable for what they say or do. Pipe dream, right?

My copy of Apples to Apples has been liberated from the Student Support Center. My own personal copy. Silly me to think it would be a good idea to share it with our beloved student body. Killing me, Smalls!
