I was on hiatus...
Aug. 23rd, 2003 09:35 amI don't really know or understand what's happened to me over the past week, because, well, I think I had a bad week... and was too tired to update this thing. Especially after I got warned again over internet usage during the work week. Saturdays and evenings, after 6pm, are okay. The person, who is one of our supervisors, who I will not named, but it's spelled S-y-l-v-i-e, warned me again, upon which I became a bitch to the rest of the department and retorted that I was not the only one. To which she said she was sorry to hear that, but as I was the one with the easiest screen to see for her (which is not true, Jessica and Veronique and two of the new girls are easier to see for her than I am, but Jess and Vero are "allowed" because my sup plays favorites), and that she would start making rounds again, to try to catch others, but she is STILL not doing her rounds! So I've completely stopped believing that she isn't in to get me... I mean, DUH...
But yeah, I've seen caps from TTT DVD and yadda yadda. I played See-Food with Peter at the Crescent Moon School Open House conference yesterday. Had to apologize for Fabiola's absence (she forgot it was Open House and that, as a Level 1 teacher, she had a presentation to give) and to promise Autumn and Scarlet (the Level 2 teachers, and Scarlet being the headmistress) that I would make sure she was alright when I got home, because she was unreachable, as in, not home. Turns out that since Faby had chipped off the point of one vertebrae by taking a fall earlier this week, she had been popping heavy painkillers all day and was so drugged up/knocked out that she completely forgot about her presentation.
I am completely in love with the CMS community, but I am a little miffed at the Montreal Pagan community in general. Half of which is shunning Scarlet, therefore shunning anything she coordinates, only because she charges for Crescent Moon registration and classes. Um, okay, I understand that, under specific traditions, teaching is supposed to be free, as the dedicant or student is aiming towards initiation and you can't charge for initiation or preparation to initiation. But Scarlet is teaching GENERIC Paganism and Witchcraft. And, unlike covens, she does it in a space that she RENTS specifically for it. The space is provided by a local magic store, and they do give her a reduction for the rental, but she is still using a space that could be rented at a higher fee by local specialists for workshops and stuff. And she only really gets about $3cad/hour that she teaches. And she's overcharging by this much only because she wants to be sure that all the expenses of the school are covered, and she pays her subordinate teachers $1/hour (except for Fabiola, who does it on a voluntary basis, since she's a Level 2 undergraduate and does not want to be paid for teaching) and that whopping one dollar is actually taken out of that three dollars per hour she gets. So yeah... Half of the Montreal community is on her back because she charges, the Montreal Pagan Ressource Center has not been this empty since I can't remember when, and some of her students/teachers are getting shunned as well. *rolls eyes* Why can't people just fucking get along?
I would like to congratulate Scarlet for getting her legal Wiccan clergy status in the US, as well as her Third Degree Elevation in her coven.
