hello khuljeanie glad you popped in come back often , this is a great site with wonderful people.

Shane I have forgiven my mom and step dad although they could of done better ,they did what they thought was right in their own sick way , they were sick (both alcoholics).My mom and I are closer now then ever, I have a very loving husband and beautiful children and grand children I have a wonderful job and a great boss , not to say I don't struggle I look at food different then others I have a fear of not having enough to eat a childhood thing.I don't ever make fun of people and I don't judge because I was always on the receiving end ,today I figure if some does not like me they are the ones missing out. We go though things for a reason now because of what you experienced you are probably more attentive to others feeling and provide a safe loving home for your girl friend , you care and that is what makes you special. I don't know you well but if I was a betting person (I'm not ) I would bet you would make a great friend , reflect on those qualities when you are down .:hug: to you

Ooooooh a venting thread! YAY

I had one HECK of a day! I supervise exams at a local college, and right now is a big time for "Challenge Exams". For $100 a student can challenge the course that they are in (during the first few weeks of classes). The students are given a registration form, sent to Customer services to pay, and if they have a receipt, I'll give the test... as I've always done!.
If they pass this test, they can be dropped from the course and given a refund for the actual course and the grade from the exam.

Well... Over the past month and a half, I've been giving out tests as usual. (No tests unless I see a receipt from Customer services).

I always supervised the exam then sent it in for marking.

Well as policy states, grades should be entered no later than 1 week after writing. And NO grades were being entered for the past month and a half!

After a MANY complaints from students who were not getting their grades, a couple of coordinators came flying at me accusing me of giving the tests for free or stealing the money!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! For some reason, none of the payments were being recorded under their payment records by customer services.

So I've been asking the students to get TWO receipts, one for me to KEEP WITH THE EXAM and one for them to keep themselves.


Today I ended up freaking out on one of the chairs and threw the piles of forms with receipts attached and told him "Tell me again I'm stealing the money!!". I have no access to any kind of register to provide receipts (I was applauded by my supervisor after the jerk walked away)


I had my own supervisor and dean verify I was in the right and the coordinators were in the wrong (heck I've had this job for 5 years, the new coordinators only been tracking the grades for a few months!!). Anyway, now there's solid proof that the money is going into the tests... but Customer Services is entering the payments totally wrong, I have NO clue where they're putting the payments...and somehow it's still ending up being MY fault.

Oooh now I know why I'm applying for another job!! As soon as tests are written, they should be completely out of my hands (It is NOT my responsiblity to do research into the database to see where the payment was made and then drag them to customer services if the payment was made under the wrong foapal), but for the past month and a half, I've been crapped on by both angry students screaming for their results and the coordinators.
