There's not enough bitching

'Annoying'. Also 'kind of gross'.

In the class I'm taking, we were going to have a take-home final. The teacher said it'd be posted friday, or early saturday at latest. He had also claimed that we would have five days to work on it, and at least a weekend to work on it for those of us that work full time.

He did not post it until 7:30pm on saturday. I have wasted a good chunk of friday and saturday checking the goddamn website at frequent intervals.

It is due next friday. I consider his claims BASE LIES.

This man is also notoriously bad at replying to emails unless he's bombarded by the same request by a ton of people (I've asked questions regarding homeworks before that he's never even answered).

Oh, and this exam also looks to be just slightly on the annoying side. -_-

That sounds like prime scholastic bullshit.

[Brian]

I think it sounds more like general incompetence.

[Merc]

Hah, I guess he got enough emails sent his way (including one from me) to actually grab his attention, as he extended deadline to next saturday at midnight. I may actually still be able to finish it tonight, but it's good to know I'll have the extra time available if I need it.

It occurs to me that I get slightly offended when people are loudly offended at (certain) things.

In particular when I get offended at something, I then get offended at myself for being offended and then...

Um...

... today's bitching is kind of existential ^_^;;

Self sustaining offense loops? Sounds pretty standard for modern 1st world culture.

Fortunately the loop isn't infinite, but tends to undergo radioactive decay into mere annoyance.

[Brian]

Headache, stomach ache, general sense of miserableness....

Bleah.

[Merc]

Ugh, that sucks, Brian. Get better soon!

Kitty.

Can you get a tougher one?

[Brian]

I just need one he can't take off.

The safety collar is mostly important for kittens ... he's demonstrated that he's a big enough kitty to get one that's fixed.

And if he breaks that, I'll get him a chain collar.

Workplace drama is the worst. -_-
