Just when I thought I hated my job with a passion...
...the nicest student you'd ever want to meet thanked me for my help. :D :cry: It's been a difficult week, and we're almost through checking in new students today. I've seen idiots, bitches, assholes, and gimme-gimme students, and my stress level was through the roof. But this student walked in with her grandmother, and they are extremely needy. She said please and thank you, and she was so grateful for everything we did for her. I bent our awarding policy to help her, and that makes it possible for her to be here. :) When she left, she and her grandmother were so happy that they both gave me big hugs and thanked me. :)

That's what it's all about. :D It makes dealing with all the idiots worthwhile.

1. See NWC... there are still good people out there!!!
probably lots of them but when we are in places where we see lots of not so nice ones it is easy to get jaded isn't it?

7. Glad you had a good one, sweetie.
That's all it takes to make it worthwhile, isn't it? B-)

8. Nice story!
You won't believe this, but I actually had a similar experience today at work! ha!

I'll save my story for another time, though.

:D :toast: :hi:
