Adjustments

So I have a class that I have been in and done multiple times.
The other people in it are pretty much my family.
We have all become great friends and we all know how to work together.
Its like we have become a well oiled machine.

We just work.

Well a wrench has been put into play.
As the usual beloved faculty adviser is currently away.
So we have this new one.

And it had been interesting to say the least.
We just figured out how to work with each other and now this person comes in.
And messes with it all.
And we are trying to be cooperative.
But they are not making it easy

Like they will say one thing and then do a totally different thing.
Okay well most of my problems come from how they acted the other day during class to us.
This person announced at the beginning of class that they were just going to let us do our thing, just observe and they would act as the "anthropologist".
Fine with us, we mainly run the class as it is just with the regular adviser. She steers us on the straight and narrow.
We are all peachy keen with this realization.
And then this person comes around and personally checks in with each and every one of us on what exactly we are doing this particular class period.
And I cant say this in any other way other than I got my ass handed to me.

We have an online website, which they didn't know about at all, and there was one picture from a story on the carousel of rotating picture stories where it may have cut off the Dean of the FLC at her eyes.
We haven't touched this damn website since like April.
So she's grilling me about this.
And my new graphic on how its up and its slightly cut off because the carousel size frame is a different dimension than the usual graphic size.
But when you click on the damn story its fine!

So i'm getting grilled.
I'm not sure how to
A- fix it.
B- what to do about it.
C-what new dimensions I need.
D- if we can even have two different graphics. One for the carousel and one for the story
E- if its worth it for the time and effort to put into making two different graphics.
F- I DO NOT DEAL WITH THE WORKINGS OF THE WEBSITE. I MAKE THE GRAPHICS!

Long story short.Its fixed now.
But this person just had to immediately go back on their word!

And then we were having trouble with the special issue.
And Hanna the person on the Indy that I think works her ass off the most got grilled because there were problems with the printer.
Her computer crashed and she's having the worst day and the special issue files were on her computer.
Anyway mix up with the printer and we may have the design the entire special issue again.
And this new adviser is just grilling her about this.
Made her cry which is not Okay with me because Hanna does not deserve that and she is probably one of the most kind and talented people we have on staff.
She is essential and this person made her cry.

I've talked to a few other of the editors and no one really likes this person either.
This is going to be an interesting semester.
Hold onto your pants, here comes the Indy crazy train!

So suffice to say.
We miss you Leslie!
COME BACK SOON!
