Online Classes and Tina
The mad scientist signed up for some sort of web instruction this morning and forgot he had done so. We arrived home to find the message light blinking madly on the phone, and a semi intelligible message, which he immediately deciphered. He recognized the error of his ways, and dialed in. It was apparent that he was in the slow group. There was a member named "Tina" who couldn't even log in right. I knew it was going to be a long session. I told him he should ask to be promoted to the AP group. Tina couldn't hear, Tina didn't know much of anything. You wondered if Tina was at the library using a borrowed computer because it seemed like she had never been on one before. And poor Raoul, the facilitator, was having some trouble communicating. Fun times. When we left, in despair, for lunch, Tina was still having problems, and so was Raoul. Mad Scientist thought he could figure it out on his own.

It seems to me that the mad scientist finds himself in interesting situations rather frequently. I do hope he finds a way to avoid them, although he does try to make the best of them. Maybe there's a scientific formula that could help...
ReplyDeleteIt's a hazard of the trade.
ReplyDeleteMany people are still unaware of online classes. Good thing there are related blogs like this that inform others.
