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

When an employee or supervisor says that he didn't want to inform the boss about the problem because he has already solved it, reserving it for when the boss shows up, the boss has a right to be disappointed in the action (or inaction), right?

You'd think a supervisor would want to impress on the boss immediately the fact that he was able to fix a hitch all by himself, and not go through the excuse that the boss doesn't need to worry about such things while away.

This is the same supervisor who waited until the boss contacted him in the afternoon before saying that one of the other employees left without notice in the morning.

Then again, that's probably part of the travails that a boss who isn't full time at the place of business has to go through, not being hands on at the hands on business all the time.

@@ I will have to emphasize to the students who attended the leadership camp again the importance of not waiting until the last minute to do their work.

During our camp, we had mailboxes set up so that the participants could send encouraging messages to their fellow student leaders. But apparently most of them were familiar with the concept from another youth organization as being put up only on the last day. That means that even though the camp was for three days, it wasn't until the third day that the students started writing and "mailing" letters to the others, even until the last moment of the camp.

They might call it paranoid on my part, but that seems like already an indication of a bad attitude.

I will have to tell them about the story of the year book picture taking (as written in the student accessible version) that lasted until the evening because the window of the photographer availability was given as until late afternoon, and a lot of people showed up an hour or two before that, enough to delay for hours.

I also don't like it that the former student council president told the leaders about being able to borrow money from me (which I did only one time at the start of the school year for the parents' of college students association, and only because the secretary of student affairs told me of the urgency, which means he got the story from her) as I don't want them to rely on that.

Good thing before that I told them about reserving their favors not like the boy who cried wolf.

Session 2653 has mixed feelings about the camp. Class dismissed.
