Here in the US, education is within the limits of your own mind.

And within the limits of your wallet

remember I was complaining about this?

This city is now run by the most idiotic administration ever.

Every time you say that NYC mayor is an idiot, I got reminded about this article/blog/whatever:

No offense!

Hello everyone ,

It has been a busy week. Got updates on work situation - broke down before christmas - could not take it anymore, waited till New Years - hoping things would get better but they got worse so I asked "my manager" for coffee to talk about it. I tried explaining to her how I felt and at some stage she just got up and left and would not speak to me about it - except for some things that did not help our conversation. After that I was asked by the Director out for coffee the next day (and so was she, separately).

During that conversation I was told she is not my Manager that she was only to teach me the ropes of the job (which she clearly did not) and that she only ever supervised students and so made mistakes in dealing with me. I admitted to not doing well being ordered around and being treated the way I was treated. So then I was given the go ahead to do my job with her being there as support should I need it but thats it. As for my working hours - that is to be determined (she changed it from 6:30 to 7:30 so not a big deal but with the drive, I prefer getting there early and usually I avoid traffic and snow issues...believe it or not lol) either way....all the Directors I am to support need to speak to one another and decide if me coming at 6:30AM is ok for them or not. And as for the conference she did not want to give up (I understand that - it is her baby) - well, she will need to since it is my responsibility now. She did buy me flowers and sent me a letter, which I think was very nice of her.

Conclusion: I can now think for myself - do my job and screw up if i screw up and take responsibility for it. I no longer feel imprisoned and bullied. YAY !

No need to change hair, just get the right accessories to go with it. Like a broom ......
