Not looking forward to it...

Heading to work where
I'll speak to angry mother
Child lost scholarship

Today's haiku doesn't follow the traditional model of using nature as its theme. Instead I'm focused on what I know I'm going to deal with this morning. I'm pretty much expecting a storm of the human variety, so does that count as "nature?"

I've given the student almost a week to break the news to mom that the scholarship was lost based on failing 4 of 5 classes last semester. Mom kept blaming the financial aid office for messing up the financial aid award, so before leaving the office last night I finally sent the very angry mother an email explaining the real circumstances. Student, meet the under-carriage of the bus, because I just threw you under it.

Best,
Briget
