So today a professor of mine arbitrarily extended his class for two hours, right into my work day. This is the same professor who arbitrarily moved his class to Friday afternoon even when I told him I was unavailable and then didn't confirm the time until 10pm the night before the class, which meant I could either 1) miss class entirely or 2) bust ass to come up with an alternative.

I've emailed him reminding him (like I TOLD HIM at the beginning of class; oh, I've learned: if you don't tell them they assume you're all full time students) that I have a job I am already skipping out on to attend his class at normal time and that I don't have vacation to spare on his bullshit.

It ended, "Please advise."

I am so sick of this. If they don't want part-timers - if they really aren't going to give them any basic consideration - then don't accept part time students. End of story.

Posted as the latest in the ongoing neverending saga of my struggles with grad school. I am fabulously glad for this tag, because once this degree is over I'm sitting down with the department and delivering this as a report (probably without all the swearing). Their program is terrible and there is no excuse.

Now excuse me while I go do an interview and then drown my face in coffee.

This is the part where you train your kittens to attack on command. Attack and kill. Cover your enemies in raw meat, and you will have your revenge upon the science department!!!

Coffee is good for the skin, no?

Moronic professors. I miss grad school not one bit.

Dude! Even when I was a full time student in college I couldn't have done shit like that. Not to mention, a lot of grad students teach. And still probably can't randomly hare off and change their class times, because they have to be at other classes in order to DO THEIR JOBS.

I'm really glad you have that tag, too, and I hope you rip them to hell when this is done.

Say wha?? What lame school is this? 'cause I don't know any teacher in any of the schools around here who would pull a stunt like that! Not if they didn't want students walking out...

Is he just not getting any and this is how he gets his kicks?

*sends you much sympathy and hugs* (I know it's not much, but it's all the internet can handle right now)
