Each and every one of these gentlemen has had to deal with me, all year long.
(each one of the gentlemen in the pictures below)
That alone deserves a round of applause.
Or a round on me - take your pick!
(chuckle-chuckle)
Not only did they have to deal with me all year round, as the only female
in the department, but they also had to deal with my quirkiness
(as I kindly like to disguise as my flaws)
To name just a few...
(clearing my throat sound)
Non-stop questions (because I don't listen very well)
Not paying attention/zoning out
Coffee smelling breath
Non-stop enthusiasm (can be very annoying at time)
Always interrupting
Putting my hand up to speak (in a group of adults?)
Questioning criteria
Demanding there be link to a specific strands from the criteria/curriculum
Can we leave yet, I need to go?
Laughing with Peter
Stinky perfume
Laughing more with Peter
Yelling at colleagues (mostly at Peter - sometimes Janis)
Writing tasks that make NO SENSE for students!
Being stubborn - no, we have to finish this before we LEAVE!
Non-stop chugging sounds from drinking out of my water bottle
Always going to the bathroom
Taking up too much space (with all my bags)
Swearing
Wearing spandex/sport wear to meetings
Never bringing any scones
I am sure I am forgetting MANY other flaws - didn't want to overwhelm anybody!
Regardless, before the year is done I just wanted to recognize my
colleagues and our entire department and just
say...
...THANK YOU FOR DEALING WITH ME!
You survived!
I appreciate your patience, time, effort and restraint
(for never kicking me out of a meeting - even when I smelt bad)
THANK YOU!
Ms.Wells
The Head of my department - YES!
Fellow Canadian, eh?!
Who's that ?
Our Humanities doctor....YES!
Who let HIM out of jail?
Oh my word - this one's a natural!
Best department EVER.
Fact.
