They need to start teaching technology classes in school. The number of people who don't know how to participate in a remote meeting is ridiculous. Yesterday was a severe clusterfuck in the morning.

First off, I was already tweaked from the whole beep beep beep shit. My classes yesterday were supposed to be two groups, one in the morning from 9-1 and then an afternoon one from 2 - 6. Well 9am comes and no one is connecting. At 9:15 I send everyone involved an email. Turns out these motherfuckers never sent the GTM info to the students. These are the most disorganized assholes in the world. Then they tried throwing ME under the bus saying how my message was unclear. I fucking went off. I sent them the info LAST Tuesday with explicit instructions. I even copied and pasted the exact words I sent from the thread. Simple answer is they didn't bother reading the entire email and wanted to blame me. Nope. No way.

My morning class ended up starting an hour late but I managed to get them through it. I went at a horrible pace AND to make it worse, I had six students, 3 were good at interacting, one was an idiot who kept unmuting, one was somewhere in between, and one never said a single word. I honestly don't even know if they were there. Whatever. I told them to spread the word to their coworkers of how things worked and what was expected. They must have because my afternoon group was much better EXCEPT for the fact that I had four students join who weren't on the list because the client didn't bother turning off registrations as they said they would. I need to know how many logins and what size server to have ready based on expected student count. It jumped from 9 to 14 for the afternoon. WTF?

And I still have 11 more days of teaching these people.

Add to this my coworker asking if we would be willing to give up our Saturday (because days don't matter any more according to him) to do a dry run of a new class. Sorry you don't have work to do right now buddy, but I am fully booked and there is no fucking way I am giving you 8 hours of a Saturday. Idiot.

Had leftovers for dinner and I was so exhausted I went to bed at 9:30. Literally fell right asleep too.

Okay. Let's do it again.
