Roberta ouch. I am glad your finger is looking better.

I spoke at the college today. I had two sessions. The first session went well considering a professor was there, arguing science vs natural health. I handled that very well. Another staff/faculty memeber nicely asked the professor to shut up so the rest could listen. I said I need to return to my outline but I would answer question later. I never refused his questions. Boy never thought I would be happy for taking college chemistry. Proffesor got mad and left. lol The second session I had a lot of people, 40 or 45. Most of them glared, texted on the phone, surfed the net on the phone, rolled their eyes at me. I had about 1/3 of the group who wanted to listen to me. I did not speak to students. I spoke to staff and faculty. Would they put up with that behavior in their classrooms? I think not. I will say something to the woman that hired me. Very nicely and proffessionly of course. I will say this, the two staff members I work directly with were young and were very professional. I am still laughing over all of this.
