Something funny (not)

[tamara_russo]

So I did a co-instructor at the center a favor and switched days with her so she could have her birthday clean of chores. I should explain that our center works every day (from sunday to thursday) between the hours 15:00 and 19:00. We usually have some sort of activity on 16:00-16:30, and people who come earlier or later play some sort of board game or do their home-work with their mentor (Perach is like "Big brother" a bit). Anyway, I talked to the other instructor who's on sunday as well, and he told me he would be a half an hour late. O.K., fine, I don't mind to be alone for half an hour, and I don't like him much as well, so I'll just read if no=one comes. I got there on 15:00, opened the place up and sat waiting - started my new book "Sons and Lovers" (D.H. Lawrence) while I waited. And waited. And waited. The hour's 15:45, some people are starting to come and I have no idea where he is. I haven't got his phone number, and I haven't got an activity ready for anyone because it's not my day and I don't know what they planned on doing. So it all came down to me being alone all four hours, people asking me constantly "What are we doing today?" and me not having a thing to tell them and my anger building up to heights I haven't seen in a very long time.Finally the clock struck 19:00, I get in my car and I find this guy's number and I call him. I say "Why didn't you come today?" Silence... "It completely flew out of my mind" I almost choked. Then he says - "Why didn't you call me? I would have come immediately"... I then said I wasn't his baby-sitter, that we are eight people other to him and that we all come and on time, and I quickly ended the call. Afterwards I called the instructor I switched days with and she told me he constantly needed reminding of coming at all (after three monthes of coming at the same day at the same hours don't you think he ought to remember?) and that he is late all the time, and that another girl who switched days to sunday got the same attitude from him. I was majorly pissed-off, and I sent an angry mail to our head. I sure hope this will get solved, but for noe I won'y ever do a session with him ever again.

Now I really have to go study, but first - a progress report:

Downloaded "Like lovers do" (Heather Nova), "Take my breath away" (Berlin), "Somebody told me" (The killers), "Confide in me" (Kylie), Joe le taxi (Venessa Paradis), "All I need" (Air) and "The living years" (Mike and the mechanics), all with my new soulseek!
