[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 727548, member: 2196"] Today is another reminder of why I hate my job so much. The day before finals, and my list was huge, full of students who didn't show up, or were VERY late. Just when it's vital they attend class, they decide to skip out for some fun. Of course some of the absences are legit, especially during this harsh cold and flu season, but many of them are not. And wouldn't you know it, most of the time my coworker's parents answer the phone. I have no idea why she gets so lucky. I am the one leaving voicemail after voicemail, in English and Spanish, because they never pick up the phone, and I am calling the family members, and still almost nobody returns the calls. The next day I have to make all of those calls all over again. My coworker is left with making only a couple follow up calls the next day, and I am stuck with tons. Monday, for instance, I have a huge list, and she has only ONE. At least the rest of the day should be easy. It will be the first day of finals week, and we only have two classes a day for four days, and Friday there is no school. I am taking a vacation day. I think I've earned it. For now, the weekend is here, and I will NOT be thinking about work. [/QUOTE]
