because the only way i can get them to be quiet is to train them. like teaching a dog to stay. you start out and you just take one step in front of them. for a few seconds. then you return to them and make a big fuss about how good they were. then next time you can take maybe two steps in front of them. for several seconds. then return and make a big fuss.
i don't have the energy / time / inclination to be making fairly constant fusses over their being relatively quiet (e.g., i only hear them loudly whispering 'hey lets try and be quiet') every 15 minutes or so.
which is basically what they need. not in order to *actually be* quiet. but in order for them to *not intentionally bait me with their noise*.
that is where things are at.
which is why their degrees don't require them to do any work outside class at all. which is why... they don't exactly learn much to take back to their tribe... so their tribe profits from their education. you get people with degrees in food science who can't organize the f*ck*ng dishwashing detergent. or perhaps (nearing the end of the year now) they are still on the washing of hands and they have not yet progressed to the washing of dishes.
not my problem.
i can't wait.
