Okay, first off --
Thank GOD my boss is not an asshole. I mean, yeah, he's a little clueless at times, but he's not a big jerk, and I am thankful for this.
I received a really nice email from him after I wrote and let him know about the insanity that's been going on with my classes.
( the email! )
So that made me feel tons better. And I had my peer observation today -- the department chair observed my Comp II class, and it WENT WELL OMG. People actually READ. And SHOWED UP. AND PARTICIPATED.
And, hey, I was covering one of my favorite sections (drama), so all the better. I even got a nice little email from him letting me know how much he enjoyed the class. *falls over in relief*
In other news, we're JUST about ready to move on Friday. I'd say the apartment is 95% packed up. I've got a few things on my desk, and the clothes in the closets, annnnd... the food in the kitchen. I'm going to pack up the car with the things I don't want the movers messing with, and will make a trip down to the new place tomorrow. I have to get the keys too, anyway.
The ONLY thing that looks like it's going to be tricky is the issue with the cable/internet hookup. I made the mistake of making the appointment for Friday between 1-4, thinking (assuming) that the movers would get to the apartment early in the morning. I don't know why I thought this; I just did. But then I found out that the moving company will call me tomorrow with a proper schedule, letting me know when they'll be by to pick our stuff up. So there's a chance I may not be at the house when the cable guys get there. However, I called the cable company and explained the situation, and they told me if I wrote a "letter of permission" and got a photocopy of my ID, then I could have whoever I wanted let them into the house. So I did that.
*prays to the cable gods that this will go through seamlessly*
Now, on to other, less serious things.
