Work slow, food great, music too. Must sleep.
Slow day at work. I was supposed to be discussing the results from yesterday's assignment, but one of the absentees from yesterday (medical reasons) was doing the same material and it felt wrong to discuss thethingl while she was slaving over it.
Instead, the others also got the table-less "revenge of the coloured boxes" practice to deal with and I got delightful results -one of the wallflowers in CSS did an awesome job using only negative margins to get everything to fit into place. She only asked help when IE6 was being an utter retard, and she fixed that on her own after being told where to look. People more busy with floating tripped over what I'd hoped for -the retared IE float bugs. I had to intervene with one of the great ones from the training, and he diligently started thrawling the Web for more scenarios concerning hasLayout and IE being nothing short of a bad joke.
It doesn't go without saying that the straggler was not just late with a lame excuse, but also needed help to finish the practice. Where help means copying things verbatim from one of the newcomers how to solve the puzzle. One of the people who is technically supposed to be at least 4 weeks behind straggler's experience. You know where I'm going with this. Straggler will utterly fail the test at this rate.
VK opted out of the fire-and-brimstone speech about the trainees getting very lax with attendance, bandwidth discipline, phone calls and what not. Next week, maybe. I did feel somewhat left in the snow when I was vehemently trying to bansish the students' youtube usage (we're using a shitty 256k line with a 1/20 upsell ratio for 18 people) whe the next thing I get is a mesage from VK with an amusing youtube video.
