At school, we have a nifty little instant messaging system for teachers. I generally get about 5 memos per day. These cryptic flashing messages used to bother me, but teachers get annoyed when I ask them to translate. I've just had to accept the fact that I'm always going to be "out of the loop". If something REALLY important is said, I have to trust that one of my colleagues will be kind enough to let me know. Having said that, they're usually so busy and so overworked that they forget (or can't be bothered) to say anything!
The message above, for example, may say something along the lines of "class schedules will be running 15 minutes behind schedule tomorrow due to a nationwide listening exam." Sam, however, won't figure this out until the next day when she shows up to her lesson extremely confused...
