RN, OMG Huk! That's horrible. You poor thing. I had that happen once except it came up in my bathtub. Tree roots had blocked the sewer.

RN we are in week 7 of the 10 week quarter system at school and a student (I use the term loosely) who attended the first class and none thereafter just emailed me to ask whether he could make up the work he missed. His councilors told him he wouldn't be able to drop my class because it's an "impacted" class--whatever that means. Oh, and that he can't actually attend class because he works then, but he can't get an F in the class either.

Unreal.

RN Tish, I know I've never attended your class, and really don't know what class it is your teaching, but could I get an A in it?

RN, I consider that a total abuse of the system for the counselors to suggest that to him and for you to have to be put in that position.

I'd give him an F. Right now. lol

RN where I went to college an impacted class was a class that everybody needed or wanted to take and there were like 15 people [or more] for every 1 opening for each class, so when you signed up for that class you couldn't drop it after the first week, for any reason. You did the work or took the F. You were told this when you signed up. You were warned this when you registered.

RN, I think he needs to suffer the consequences of his own choices and actions. If the work from weeks 7-10 is enough for him to pass, well then so be it, but there should be no makeup work. He chose to work and skip class, so he chose to fail.

I'm a student, and I am the first to understand sometimes choosing work over school, but I have never ONCE expected to get credit for anything I missed hearing, learning, or submitting during my absence. I just take the hit. Calculate the risk in advance, and don't whine about it after the fact.

RN Colossus and I are both sucking wind. I've been sick all week and he's just catching what I have, but we were both up for hours in the middle of the night because we couldn't breath well laying down. Between us we didn't get but 8 hours sleep or so.

Sigh. But work awaits . . .

RN Gal, there's a nasty virus that's been going around here that is the same way. My kids, my nieces, and the neighbor kids all missed at least two days of school with it. I had it last week (sis and bil have it this week) and even worse than being awake all night coughing and blowing my nose was the body aches that went along with it. It felt like I'd been beat with a tree.

RN DH just called a bit ago, some of you may know he works in Iowa while we own our home here close, but not too close to Kansas City, Mo. His company has been doing a lot of bridge replacement jobs in Texas...seems they are in a bind and his boss asked him to work down there for 3 weeks or so. They want and need him so bad, the boss wanted to know what it would take for him to go. So now they will pay his rent for Iowa while he's gone, pay his usual wages plus per diem, motel and gas.
I've never been to Texas other than one day when we drove from Oklahoma to check out a job years ago, so I MIGHT get to fly or take the train down the last week he's there to help with driving back. whoooot whooot. Now I just have to find out where he's be exactly. I'm excited...sorry I rambled!

RN, the wind is gusting up to 60 km/h which is blowing the snow. Just got home from 4 hours of running errands and trying to motivate myself to be a good mom and pick 16 yr old from bus drop to save her the walk.

RN, it's only about 1/4 mile at most. Problem solved itself... bus was early and dd walked in the door 5 minutes before I would have had to leave to gather her. So now I can be morally superior in the thought that I WOULD have gotten her had I had the chance. LOL

Rn that is true Rissa. Now you can say that you are a good mother and the next time she tells you differently remind her of this day that if her bus was not early you would have picked her up

Rn I was sitting here being all angry. On Friday's Darren gets off work at 2, which gives us 1 hour before the kids get home to do whatever (run an errand, sit and chat, or...whatever) with no kids to worry about. Standing agreement is that if he's gonna have to work late, CALL. 2pm, no call, he's not home yet, 2:30, still no call, still not home. I'm starting to think up creative names to call him, we had plans dangit!

Just called to say, "Sorry, sorry, I know we had plans! Got called into a meeting just as I was leaving. Bad day, bad, bad day." How can ya be mad at that?

RN Wargod I got your back!!! 22 yrs of marriage and I can't get hubby to understand that if you say you are going to be home at 7 and it's a one hour drive then call by 6!!! You know at 6... gee, one hour drive and I haven't left yet? Yup, gonna be late. Of course they pull the sympathy card and you and your righteous anger get hooped. LOLOL

RN2 DF, I made it up by picking up 12 yr old dd who yelled at me 'cause she wanted to walk with her friends. {sigh} :-)

RN Alwayzmovin , Yay for getting a trip to Texas. Now to find out which part he's working in. Yep, our governor thought it was past time to fix the many bridges that are in desperate need of revitalizing or replacing in this huge state. Of course they are building dozens of new ones, too, for all the new highways they keep building. It's unreal.
