Enough is Enough
I don’t know how much longer of this I can really take. I may be good friends with my boss and everything, but dammit I can’t keep doing everything for him. Today, I quizzed him on his Astronomy test which he studied for the day before and tested in today. Matter of fact, make that both of us tested for it today. I think I did OK, although it was a damn tough test. Seb, my boss, did worse. I know this because he proved to me this morning that he can’t remember anything for more than three seconds when it comes to Astronomy.
After that, we went to see his film teacher. He couldn’t see the required movies for his midterm because the Asian gal who works at the Media Center didn’t understand him when he asked to watch movies. I found out why today: He didn’t even tell her that I set up a list of stuff for him to watch and put it in his pack. Something which I specifically told him to tell her time and time again. Now his movie class midterm was due today, but we managed to extend the due date for another week. We’ve also set it up so that he should know what to watch for the rest of this week and when to watch it. All I can say is, he’d better not mess this one up.
Lastly, as we left the Media Center, Seb reached the peak of his stress and yakked up all over the place.
You ever see the kind of movie where the lead character has had it up to his neck with what he’s doing and his emotions are paralleled by an explosion of sorts? The very moment Seb blew chunks, I had that movie moment happen to me.
As I cleaned him up, I told him straight up that I couldn’t do it much longer. I’ve been doing free work for him out of the kindness of my heart this whole semester, but I can’t do it for the rest of the year.
Our little experiment of seeing how Seb could handle things without an aide has failed. He is just too much to take care of for someone in my position. In conclusion, he’s going to have an aide next semester. No question about it.
Ugh, this is too much for me.
