One of my colleagues.

I need to show the kiddies the DVD of An Inconvenient Truth (which is in dire need of editing, IMHO).

To do this I collected a laptop, powerpoint projector, mini speakers, power board, extension cord, etc, and lugged these about half a K to the classroom, set it all up ... where I found that SOMEONE has CHANGED THE GOD DAMN PASSWORD ON THE LAPTOP and neither I nor our IT specialist can override it.

My lesson plan crashed and burned, I was able to review the first half of the movie which we watched last week and discuss the questions with them. Still I was NOT HAPPY.

Then in a meeting with the other critical thinking teachers and the college director I managed to spill moccha on my pants, only about a tablespoon worth, but that is plenty enough to leave a mark. They are fleecy woolen pants and will be difficult to clean.

Today involved one lesson, three meetings and next, a big bucket of marking.
Good thing they pay me for this.
