Tina's Multiplyin'

Ugh, do you know the song from the title? It's all over the radio now.

There's something so.... I don't know Barney about this song.

You know... "I love you... you love me..." So, needless to say I find it annoying. ...and now it's stuck in my head. Lovely.




Lessee-- what else... the teaching plans are constantly transforming... ARC is now out of the question.

UB has a program that is not yet state certified that I would take if it were... the state has been "reviewing" the program for the last two years -- so it could get approved next week or in the next 5 years... who know... but there may be a bypass route I can take... I'm working that out.

I'm REALLY hoping that works out. If it doesn't I have to take a much harder road. You know, for a profession that is in SUCH a shortage -- you'd think they'd make it just a tad easier to get into, no?

Sheesh!

As you know, I am a board member at the local LGBT community center. I have been for the past 8 months.

There are 8 members currently on the board (we're looking for 3 more). Of those 8, everyone is white but me and this other girl who is black (let's call her Elvira).

Well... Since I started working with them we meet monthly for board meetings, have retreats and events that we plan and execute together as a board. Not to mention tons of email interactions.

Despite ALL of that, however, there is this board member who CANNOT seem to stop confusing me and Elvira. She is CONSTANTLY calling us by the other's name and confusing what events we are hosting, setting up, or whatever.

At first it was funny and I'd laugh as I corrected her.

But every time it happened it got far less funny.

Several weeks ago this board member sent an email out to the board looking for one (or some) of us to cover a meeting that was happening on a Monday.

I responded that I could not on Monday and that I thought it would be a good idea if we all signed up for covering events at the Board meetings so that we aren't scrambling to do that a few days before these events.

So she writes back to everyone listing the board members who said they could cover this event (including me after I said I couldn't) and what else does she do?

Thanks ELVIRA for the suggestion about signing up for events beforehand. WTF???

Seriously... HOW MANY TIMES do I have to correct her?

Is she SERIOUSLY doing an "all minorities look alike" thing???

I do NOT get offended easily... at least not by people who are not close to me... but now I've about had it w/ this b!tch. So I responded to that email with this:

I vote that "Elvira" and I wear name tags from now on... because J***s can never seem to get our names right! LOL

Also, my email said I would not be around this Monday... but it does sound like we have enough help. Happy about that.

Tina

The taller, lighter skinned one.

Maybe THIS time she'll actually make an attempt to get this sh!t right. Sheesh!





So my cousin, Monica aka Monchichi has now dropped her pending visit originally set for Wednesday - Sunday of next week to Friday - Sunday.

Taking wagers that I don't see her at all. LOL

(Hi Cheech!! ;)
