Yesterday was rough as anticipated. Things really started getting challenging around 5pm. That's when I start to lose focus, get distracted, etc. Doesn't help when a couple of the students are not 100% either. There's 14 people total registered in this class, plus 3 "observers". Which is a bullshit way of a client getting more people in a class without actually paying for them. My observers asked more questions and were more trouble than my actual students. As usual for this client, more than half were up to 5 minutes late. Par for the course. None of my management team or sales team can understand why this bugs me so much. I'm sorry, but it's fucking disrespectful. Plain and simple. I am waiting on you to show you something. You're wasting my time and I hate it. I had at least five students who said nothing all day which is just as bad. Interact even a little please? Meh. One day down, three to go. Today is the material I don't like because it's theoretical stuff and is less tangible for demos. Lots of talking. Thursday and Friday are more straight forward and will just be cranking out demos.
I'd have more to discuss but these classes literally are my whole day. I start them up at 10:15, I shut down at 7:15. Not much time in between to do anything else. Before class I had a snack, after class I had a grilled cheese. Watched some TV with B, We did something else, can't remember, but it was some household thing. Next thing you know, it's 9:30 and I am getting ready for bed. I did have a nice chat again with my sister. She's got so much going on, I don't know how she does it. Very proud of her.
Okay, five hours until next session. Whee!
