It's arrived...

It's back! The heat and humidity just descended on us... Last night we had our last soccer game of the season, at first I was feeling sad and disappointed that it was coming to an end, but I have never felt anything quite as uncomfortable as our game last night. The heat and humidity was unreal; it's been hot before, literally in the 100's, but it was the first night that it has been ridiculously hot and humid, I've honestly never felt anything like it before, it was like the heat was radiating through me and at me. I wonder if that's what it would be like to be microwaved.

Just a quick work story too... so a friend of mine applied for a job at the middle school a few weeks ago, of course they basically tell him whatever is easier for us to fill, your current position, or the one you are applying for, is basically how that's going to work out. Makes sense, I guess, annoying, because one would think you would want to keep current staff happy and help them work towards their professional goals, maybe keep them around longer, but that would involve "forward thinking"... and I thought that was one of our corporate goals... but anyways, this is how they chose to tell him he got the job. My friend is sitting in his classroom, with a tutoring student, and our superintendent walks in and says, so, we hired a great teacher for the MS position, sorry, it must feel pretty bad, you've applied for two positions over there, blah, blah, blah. This is all, by the way, in front of a student. Then, the superintendent leaves for about a minute, and then walks back in and says, well, you're a great teacher. My friend is thinking, what, is this his way of making me feel better? Then, this is unbelievable, admin really never does stop amazing me, just when I think they couldn't get any worse, he says you're the great teacher, you are the one we hired for the position. I could not believe it, it would not be difficult to have the whole thing be professional and great. All he had to do was say, hey, can I talk to you when you are available, then say Congratulations! I'm happy to tell you that you are the most qualified person and we are excited that you will be able to move into the position you applied for. Now, I don't have my doctorate in human relations or anything, but it just doesn't seem that hard. What a funny "joke"! I mean, really, could they do things any more unprofessionally?
