Last week was taking the class, this week we're teaching it, with the Expert teacher shadowing us to give us a hand when we get stuck. Us being me, Diz and Bagadonuts, who was brought down from Bangor to learn something he won't ever teach up there. Yeah, all of it feels slipshod, like they threw it together. Next week there's going to be a guy coming up from Boston who's taught this stuff, too, who will help Diz in the mornings. I hope he stays and rotates around to help each of us.
A power outtage meant my computer was down when I got home, and now everything wants to update. It's a little distracting.
Once again I come home with no brain left. I gave myself 'schedule brain' (Bagadonuts's phrase) trying to figure out what the hell they expect of us next week. The schedule as they've given it to us seems to show us getting two and a half days work (which are supposed to be like nine and ten hour days) done in two days, teaching twice as many students as we're supposed to, and doing one on one classes with two people at a time. The guy from the contract training company stuck his fingers in his ears and went 'la la la!' (yes, really) because this is completely off the scale not what is supposed to be done. And is apparently what Boston does all the time. Well, we will do our best.
I may be getting help soon, though of course he'll be in and getting trained long after this mess is all blown over. Still.
ETA - no days off until next week... possibly Saturday. Meaning no going out to the Alastair Frasiar and Natalie Haas show, because in fact I'm going to be teaching 1230 til 2100hrs.

There's been a nasty-ass smell coming from the fridge for a while, (though Hawk and I could not smell it without prompting from Eor - because of the conditions under which we grew up we are simply incapable of smelling bad smells or noticing dirt in our own homes) so this afternoon when we got home from work Eor and I indulged in a huge pitch-fest/dishwashing spree in an attempt to rid ourselves of this scent. Hawk had, yesterday, got rid of some sort of beet sauerkraut he'd had sitting around, and double-checked the triple-wrapping on his kim chee, so I was convinced it was something which had gone really bad, at this point.
However, much later, after dinner, I happened to catch sight of an old butter tub at the back of one of the vegetable drawers which we most use for cheese. Opening it I found a chunk of gorgonzola. Phew! Hawk's, of course. I don't know why he's attracted to eat so many things that don't smell fit for human consumption. :)
Now I've triple-wrapped that, and I'm going to hope for the best, but the smell is all in everything in the fridge, so even if that's the source it will take a while to get rid of. We're certainly going to have to wash everything with bleach.
