Hi,
I'm really confused about the assignment. Can I come by your office tomorrow to talk about it?
Stud. Ent.
Hi Stud Ent,
That's fine. I can be in my office at a time between 10--12 and probably from 2--4 as well. Let me know when you want to meet.
Teach. Er.
Hi,
Thanks so much. That will be really helpful. I think I've worked some stuff out, but I'd still like to talk to you. See you tomorrow.
Stud Ent.
Why don't they ever READ the bit where I ask them to specify a time? And then if I'm not in my office when they do drop by, they interpret that as, "I made an appointment and she wasn't even there!" and I get skewered on the evaluation forms where it asks, "Was the lecturer available for questions and discussion outside class hours?"
Gah!
(And today's one didn't show at all, even though I was in my office for the whole of the suggested time windows.)

Heaven forfend we go get ourselves a cup of coffee or use the restroom!
I swear that students think we live in our offices; at night, the maintenance guys just come around and hang us by the scruff of the neck on the back of our door with the robes.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
