Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

We were still at the airport when one of the other delegates from another school in the district that I went here with complained about the people in position at their office.

It seems that they have some laboratory equipment bought, five sets of it, which some of the members of the department are supposed to use to train those in the industry.

But so far, it's just been gathering dust, since they have too much on their plates.

And those selfish sons of pride won't let anyone else use them who have the time, because they want the glory and the revenues that will come if and when they do offer to train outsiders.

She was complaining about their department chair, who, despite the supposed unwritten rule, is in the same position after more than three years, being both narrow-minded and short-sighted.

Talk about tunnel vision, this one let's his position make him think he can do no wrong, when in fact everyone declines the position because of how much flak it will get them making the wrong decision.

And with someone like that at the helm, and no one else around to think about the future of the department but only their own personal stake in retirement, is it no wonder they don't see that they are ringing the death knell for future generations of those who may want to teach there?

This is the same guy who throws his weight around just because he can, saying he will throw out a former employee's carefully collected scratch papers that everyone else can use just because he wants to see them jump when he says how high - or something like that. I may mix metaphors when I'm a little frazzled with the subject.

Session 2395 just threw in that last part to relieve the tension. Class dismissed.
