Attendance - why bother?
Snow - From my window
This was the view from my window today. Whilst it wasn’t particularly bad up here England seems fairly paralysed by the snow.
However, I only had 1 class on today. The problem is this happened to be PBL at the hospital, a 30 minute train trip away. That is, of course, after I get to the station which requires a 15 minute walk.
I have no real problem walking in snow and I knew the train was running so I was pleased to turn up to PBL on time. Out of the 12 of us in the group, 6 started at 9am this week and were all waiting. From the remaining 6 only 1 other was already there. We began the process, full in the knowledge that the remaining 4 almost never turned up on time (a different post!). Expecting to see them stumble in around half past I was astonished to finish (after only an hour, heh) without them either turning up or letting us know.
Who cares?
Pretty much nobody. They’ll have to explain their absence - assuming it even gets logged - but then what? If we had waited for them, we’d be giving up our time to ensure they get some benefits. If they had turned up we’d be expected to update them on what had been said - we’d still be losing time.
I’m not going to admit I attend everything perfectly but if snow is the excuse, and it probably will be, I’d be pretty annoyed. They all get transport and my 45 minute trip would probably take them closer to 20 - for free too - it just makes my effort seem pointless.
I’ve got 2 of them tomorrow for GP, will they show?
Will it snow?
We’ll see.
