Last night I had class again. You may remember my upset last week that the blonde amazon that stalked me for awhile is in that class. There is more to that story. The teacher of that class was also the teacher in a class that I quit the program over a year ago. That teacher was always late to class, wasn't organized for the class, and cut class short by a couple of hours each class. To some folks that might sound cool but when you have to have those hours to complete the course and you pay for those hours, I call it getting screwed. Anyway, somebody complained about that teacher cheating us. Instead of the teacher getting her act together, she ridiculed the complainer in class. Then, she not only let the blonde amazon - who has spent the last few years telling us she is an ex-police officer and jailer at a penitentiary; that she uses stun guns, stun shields and batons on big men; and, goes on "reconnisance" missions to harass people that cross her - rail against the complainer for half the class period, she encouraged it. At the end of blondie's tirade, I was pissed, PMSing and perimenopausal. I told teacher she was shit and when blondie turned on me I told her to go to fucking hell and walked out of the class. Some of the other students in that class followed me out but no one backed my complaint against either teacher or amazon blonde.
My boss let me quit the program that session but has made me go back the last two. When I had to take this class, with this teacher, it was bad enough, and with blondie being in the class, too, I was seriously dreading the 10 Monday nights I'd be forced within their proximity. Fortunately, the teacher has another person scheduled to take about 5 of her classes and I can be absent twice so I thought I'd only have to tolerate the two creepazoids three times.
Well, yesterday that teacher called me at work. Because I was busy and couldn't get the phone, she left a message - she was really glad I was in her class and she looked forward to seeing me. Okay. I'm basically a nice person so if she wants to mend fences, I'm cool with that. Sure enough, she gave an excellent class, put blondie in her place a few times, and thanked me for giving her a second chance.
So, I'm doing very well. Thanks for asking.
