Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

My 5th period class came in acting insane. I'm tired. The resulting disaster could be heard a few doors down.

On one hand, I feel a little bad for them. On the other hand, they totally had it coming.

I am so. Sick. of Commercials.

Which kind of makes it hard to do my job, right now.

Why does every Mcdonald's radio commercial sound like it was written by a con man who dropped out of high school who is trying to confuse a mentally disabled person out of their lunch money?

There's been a really bad head cold/flu-type thing going around at work recently. It's been making the rounds for well over a month now, and I thought I had managed to avoid it.
Ya. No.
I hate being sick. And head colds suck the most, cuz they really screw up my ability to write, which is kind of a major part of my job. Bugger.
So I'm still f'ing sick. But wait, there's more! Not only have I mostly lost my voice now but... since Saturday, both eyes have gone full Narn, and one is just about swolen shut. Da fuq? I think I may actually go and see a medical professional today. This is ridiculous.
 
My girfriend hit the side of the garage door with the car mirror on the right side in august. I had it fixed last month...And now I just hit the side of the garage door with the car mirror, on the right side. GAH DAMMIT. One month earlier and it'd have been the already-broken mirror, so no harm done. Now it's the most recently repaired part I can have replaced again. I'm an idiot.

Lazy co-workers.

I don't care if your previous purchasing job told you exactly how many of what to order from whom and how frequently. That was a makeup company, this is cabinetry. Your previous internal customers probably knew where you buy MAC. The shop guys here don't care where you buy shrink wrap for shipping. You order this stuff every two weeks. You DO NOT need the shop guys to tell you to buy it at the shipping supply place. If you do, you can take your lazy ass back to the fashion world.
 
Faculty members in general.

Lack of planning your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. I'm not extending deadlines because you couldn't get your shit together. I don't care if you are faculty and everyone else bows to you. You're not that special.
 
Building off of this, I just want to graduate. I know work can be shitty but to me 40 hours of work, with no work afterwards sounds amazing.
 
Group projects: in which your partner never returns emails and you end up doing the work on your section on your own. wtf
I thought I had the group project story to end all group project stories until my friend hit me with this whopper:

Critical end-of-year engineering project; his partner doesn't send him anything until the night before it is due. Up until this point, she has not answered the phone, emails, or been in class so he cannot talk to her in person.

She emails him

I hated teaching co-operative projects. You inflate one lay about's grades while dragging down other kids, BUT IT IS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION.

I remember dreading group projects even when I was in class... I knew it meant I'd have to do all the work if I didn't want the lazy and stupid to drag down my grade.
 
Oh I had a gem from high school, too. I used to be terrified of having to get up in front of the class to give reports. My senior year, in English Lit, there was a project where each group was assigned a book and we would have to give an oral report on it at the end of the marking period. Guess who read the book. I was the only person in the group of 6 that had even cracked the cover. I had such a fear of speaking in front of my class that I would get uncontrollable giggles if I looked at anything other than my shoes. So my answers were mumbled and the other 5 kids would repeat what I said. It was awful.
 
I'm horribly lazy, but somehow I always got grouped up with people even lazier than me. So I ended up having to rush and do everything at the end.
