Things that piss you off?

[silverwhisper]

i'd offer, but since you clearly didn't think what we had was special, i'll content myself w/ huffing indignantly.

so i'm about 2/3 of the way done with this monster project. i've had mounds of papers all over the chest next to the desk here for weeks. now that i'm nearly done i took great pleasure in cleaning up this mound of paper. the only problem now is that the chest is right beneath a huge window and the sun is absolutely blinding me as it reflects off the chest. damn it all.

Oh, ed. I was blind and a fool. You are indeed the most special of many special things in my life. It was thoughtless of me to have mistreated you in such a brutal callous way. I can only hope in time, you'll find it in your heart to forgive me, even though I clearly don't deserve it.

That I can't think of a flipping title. GRRRRRRRR

 

[Sarojaede]

well, if it has a really sharp edge, it might do the trick.



and just for the record, I'm up to 12 separate calls/conversations from this guy today.

I had a student who called me 15 times in one day. And then proceeded to call me and leave 5 messages on my campus office voicemail over the weekend--one of which was at 11:37 (why I remember the exact time is beyond me) on a Saturday night.

Like I am at work in my office at 11:37 p.m. on a Saturday night.

Then you're clearly not doing your job.

Guess this person doesn't understand the concept of office hours.

Office hours?!?!!? What are those? Ohhh...wait...you mean I'm in my office at specific times, designated on my syllabus and students can come by during those hours.

I love it when a student remarks "I came by your office and you weren't there." My first question is usually "when did you come by?". To which the reply is always, always, always a time during which I do not have office hours. Usually, I just draw a copy of the syllabus and point to the office hours on it and ask them if they read much.

My ex-husband was also an adjunct English instructor for a while. He and I shared an office. That got a bit awkward once we separated, though I had morning classes and his weren't until early afternoon, so we normally didn't see much of each other.

Since I arrived shortly after 8 AM, I usually listened to all the phone messages and wrote down names and phone numbers for my ex and put them on his desk. One morning, there was a message for my ex from a student who'd been calling for a couple of weeks. This guy was also apparently stopping by the office, but not during my ex's office hours.

The message was something along the lines of, "I've been trying to get in touch with you for two weeks and if you don't return my phone call I'm going to find out where you live and stop by your house." My ex hadn't changed his info with the Human Resources department. I was afraid this guy was gonna somehow find out the address and come knocking on my door.

The door to our microwave/combination oven has just broken so now we can't heat anything up and of course the manufacturer's warranty expired two months back...

1: It's a fucking can opener, how hard can it be to find the picture I need.

If you wern't so damned picky about this sort of stuff you would find one that you like, no wonder your creative urge gets constipated

2:"It's the GB, it's what we do." Worst fucking excuse ever, you have free will, if you are an arsehole it's because you choose to be.




(So all you grammarphiles, would chose work just as well as choose or does that muck up the "tense".)

I pick choose. the tense agrees with "are".

Whatever.

I accidently dropped the o from choose and just noticed that it still made sense even though it grated a bit, thought I'd just ask.

My calves cramped up during a 25-minute run. Now my legs are tired and weak.

Guess I wasn't as warmed up and well-hydrated as I thought.
