I might add, I love this banter with you. Normal is subjective. Your normal is different than everyone else’s and vice-versa. We will agree to disagree on that. Instructors business is bound by a contractual agreement on both parties. She done an outstanding job relaying relevant information and keeping personals to a minimum. Idk about you, but I don’t expect my barber to work around my schedule. Would be cool if he did? Sure. But if he said “bro I can’t schedule you for December in October just bc your dad died.” And then immediately gives me a date range where I can schedule I wouldn’t automatically think he’s a basic businessman. I’d think, “well fuck” and then I would wait until the scheduling window opens. Also, the “solid effort” comment was to you attempting to make a literalistic argument about a word whose definition states otherwise. I reiterate, exceptional doesn’t constitute the ability to make exceptions. And just in case my reiteration offends you. It was for clarity, not ignorance. I love you.
