Today...

• I got rained on while biking to work and had to teach looking like a drowned rat.
• I tried to be a good teacher, but couldn't because I am working in broken chaos, so I closed my door and cried in frustration.
  
• I got stuck in my own office because my door cannot be opened from the inside.
• I was rescued by a maintenance man while a colleague sat in her office and did nothing.
  
• I got a copy of work order about the above situation; it said Priority: Low
• I read emails on the department listserv that professed to be unaware that grad students were being blown off in the move.
• I offered to help someone who's been a total b!%@# to me and when she said something rude, I apologized to her instead of telling her off.
  
• I listened to a faculty member tell the tech people they were too loud and she was "actually trying to work."
• I watched the tech people leave without installing our phones because installing them meant making noise.
• I started to send an email to someone about how frustrated I was, but didn't because I was afraid I would get in trouble.
