Huh.
Yeah, pretty much what it says.

Oh, school district. You so crazy.
Mar. 22nd, 2012 11:29 pmApparently, our building's entire network was down today. Naturally, it was the day our students were scheduled to take the National Spanish Exam, which is an online test. So already, there was mucho stress in my department.
Then, as if the faculty wasn't already painfully aware of the situation, our school district decided to inform us that the computers were down.
They did this by sending a mass e-mail. *headdesk*
As if that wasn't enough, they made an announcement saying that, since the computers weren't working, teachers should send a hard copy of their attendance lists to the office rather than submitting them online. (Because, duh. We can't.) They went on to request that we not simply write the students' names on a piece of paper, but print out and mark the appropriate boxes on the school's official attendance sheets.
Which are located on the school's website. Online.
*double deaddesk*
God, the stupid burns. (I do work in an academic institution, right? Because some days I really wonder.)

Interesting how some cosmetic companies, in an effort to be "hip", are completely vague about how to use their products. I received some bath products from my friend for Christmas from a trendy, local cosmetic company near her home. One item was shaped like a cupcake and came with directions which stated, very succinctly, "Cupcake Pop: Just toss in the bath, and indulge! (Do not eat.)" I assumed it would be one of those fizzy bath bombs that dissolve or make bubbles or something like that.
So I dropped it in the tub and got ready to indulge.
It sank to the bottom and stayed there. For about 15 minutes I kicked it around with my foot, but it didn't dissolve, fizz, or even turn the water fun colors. After a while, I picked it up only to notice it was rather slippery...
Apparently, it was actually just a soap. (Of course, that's not indicated anywhere on the tag that was attached to it.) Oh, I'm sure it's a very nice soap, but I guess I was led to expect something different.
At least I didn't eat it.
