Very Bad, Very Bad


Today was my first day back at school as a teacher since last December, and it was very messy. But I must have some positive feelings about being back because when I played around in Illustrator and created this image, I liked it even though it seemed kind of not-negative.

I cancelled my first class, because my laptop wouldn't start, (for the second time since Window xp has been installed.) The students didn't have access to their computer lab accounts without their user names and passwords, and the new registration software isn't working very well, and they hadn't received the letters telling them what they are. I could have looked up their information one by one, but my laptop wouldn't start - have I mentioned that?

The printer doesn't have the new software installed so xp won't print to it, and I like to print out things like class lists and topical outlines. Even after I got a new hard drive and re-installed all my info, I couldn't print. No matter, I couldn't get at my class lists because the new software, changed my name (I use my second; it used my first) and so wouldn't let me read my data.

Then I went to another campus for another course, but the program is moving and was neither at their old spot, nor their new one in a quite unfinished building. It took me an hour to find that out!

I did not have a good day.
