As tempting as it is, unfortunately such a measure would probably reduce the quality of care for the residents even further.

Instead, I'm dusting off my bureaucratic in-fighting gloves.  There is a certain satisfaction in killing people with paperwork, regulations, ominous invocations to Human Resources and powerpoint presentations.

Oh yes.  Academic reading regulations mode engaged.

Failing that, I'll just escalate in a more reliable, crazy way.  While the individual in question has no authority over me, the clique in question is lead (of course) by a supervisor.  She could make my life difficult...but there would be costs.  She could change my rota, but my contract specifically forbids University dates, and I'm already working the worst possible shifts.  She could try and blacken my work record, but I've kept records of her own pathetic work "standards", and believe me, I can throw that mud in a way it's certain to stick.

Also, I don't place much stock on the opinion of idiots (though I do object to having my reputation blackened by idiots, a subtle but important distinction). So that kinda ruins their main avenue of attack.

My allergies are killing me.

And I'm also fighting the urge to shave my head, and it's not even that hot out yet.

It's, functionally, finals week. I not longer care AT ALL about Chemistry, which is making it really hard to focus on the homework. I might just end up with a B in this class, and I do not give a fuck.

Cain, if you're in the mood to share your tactics and narrative, an OM thread would be a lot of fun.

So I'm registered for three classes in the fall, and I have a slot for one more once the department tells me where to go.

Museum Studies
Early History of Ancient Greece
Saints, Sinners and Heretics, which sounds like everything I could possibly wish for.  :lulz:
