Y5 D304

There are days when the difference in age shows between me and B. And it's not so much an age difference as an experience difference. She could be 10 years older and still not have the same experience I have in some respects. She is very frustrated at her job right now. Her boss is a severe micro-manager who causes B to have major anxiety and flat out panic attacks. B knows how to do her job. If she didn't they wouldn't have promoted her. But her boss is constantly sending her emails or standing over her shoulder not because she doesn't trust B, but that's just who she is. That's not something B is used to at work. But then again, this is a different kind of job than she has had in the past.

Point of all this? While I was teaching yesterday I got a text from B saying she wants to move now because then she can quit. Sigh. If you want to quit, quit. Same thing I dealt with when the kid was working at Starbucks. I talked to the kid yesterday. She is doing well. Getting ready to finish up at one school and then head off to University. I did mention she got accepted right? She will be transferring in as a Junior with an AA already in her pocket. I am so damn proud of her and how she handled everything. She did it right.

Me? Oh don't worry about me. I taught all day. Can't stand this later start time. Really throws me off. Confused the hell out of me most of the day. Wasn't sure what time it was at any point. 11 students this week which I complained about a little to the powers that be. Yesterday and today is the beginner class. I want a size cap on these classes because they are beginner classes and someone will need hand holding. In this group's case, three of them needed hand holding. Which slowed down the rest of the group. I dislike it. In the advanced and expert classes, load me up. These people know what they are doing and I can go at a faster pace. With the intro classes not so much.

Got through class without any major issues at least. After class I looked up Diablo 3 and how the update was happening. Turns out it was going to be released at midnight EST or 9pm PST. Fine, I will buy it and be done with it. A million points to Blizzard. It would appear they preloaded most of the code into recent patches as it took me less than 5 minutes to have it downloaded and playing. At 9:20 I was launching my Crusader and off to fight evil. I only played for about 45 minutes but got to level 6. Why so little? Because of B. She was off all night even so much as looking at SnagaJob while we watched TV. We decided to restart all of Big Bang Theory from the start. Man that is a funny show. I dislike most comedies but that one just works. For example I have been trying to watch Parks and Rec because everyone says it's hilarious but.. Meh. I don't find it funny. It's just flat. Now BBT? We got through like 7 or 8 episodes and I was dying the whole time. Just such snappy dialog and wit. Love it.

Anyway, she was sighing and unhappy while we watched and went to bed at 10. I went to bed around 10:30 because I didn't want an issue even though she was already asleep.

More training today. Class in two hours. God that's too long.
