You know how you would always complain about the class teaching assistant (TA)? My friend and I used to do it all the time in undergrad. But now my friend is in a Masters program and is now the TA who is inflicting pain on the students. Ahhh...how the things have changed with time.
But let's be frank here. It's not like my friend is a bad TA. In fact, he works hard. He pushes 15 hour days at the lab running samples and whatever crap those science people do in labs (I have no clue cuz I graduated with an artsy degree). He's usually there at the lab till 3AM. But when he gets little sleep he gets a little cranky with his students. So frankly I think it's frickin' hilarious that he got this letter the other day:
Dear "My friend's name",
It is imperative that we meet tomorrow morning (Monday) and discuss professionalism when TAing a lab, including how to interact with your students. I am very concerned about feedback I have received regarding the Monday and Tuesday evening labs.
Please contact me either by email or phone to set up a time to meet tomorrow morning. I will try contacting you at the lab and at home when I get to my office in the morning.
"Mr. Lab Supervisor"
Hahaha. Man. *rubs tears from eyes* That's classic. Now I wish I had students of my own to inflict pain on.
