This was one of those days that I thought I had pissed in everyone’s cereal.
OK, it was a cloudy, odd-weather day in Las Vegas but I went to school in a fairly upbeat mood.
That ended quickly.
It seemed everybody had some kind of mental disconnect and from the minute I entered the door, I could almost taste the bile floating through the hallways and into the classrooms and teachers’ lounge.
Cold shoulders, snippy answers, intentional slights…it was just freaky.
At first I thought it was me…got very paranoid and it took all the courage I could muster to see if there was a pink slip or something in my in-box - nope.
I noticed it was happening to everyone.
I have a student who just wrote me a nasty email complaining about how I treated him in class, an instructor who is pissed about something (who knows what) and lots of bitching from everyone about everything and everybody.
Wow…can’t remember this happening in a very long time - to be honest, I think it last happened after a long period of rain when I lived in Berlin.
Very happy this day is over.
