I am soooo fed up of my students! Not all of them, just a group that are completely uncontrollable and have absolutely no respect and disrupt every class, making me miserable and annoying the kids there who actually want to learn. I've tried everything! But they're on their summer holidays (as far as they're concerned) and are leaving at the end of the week and their group leader doesn't care about disciplining them so they just run wild without any thought to the consequences and I am so mad at them I'm just days away from fantasising about kicking them into Serenity's engine like that tattooed bad guy in The Train Job. Seriously.

Oooh. Good to get that off my chest. I'm spoiled. That's the problem. I'm used to teaching adults who really want to learn. These kids are soooo frustrating it's unreal.

Sorry to everyone who happens to like this... stuff... but come on! SciFi channel? What are they thinking! I not sure if this has been brought up before, but anyone else find ridiculous?

That's why I didn't complete my teaching certificate...Once I got into the system I decided I didn't want to babysit other peoples problems...

[steam rant]

I wanted to play HL1: source, but I can't because A) Steam SUCKS! B) you have to update you steam profile thingy C) steam SUCKS! and D) updating my profile thingy takes and hour followed by a message that it had failed and I should try again, so: steam SUCKS!

seriously, who thought this was a good (or even mediocre) idea? I want a lightsaber and 10 minutes of quality time with that person

[/steam rant]

No charge.

But go get someone competent to look at that shoulder. {/mom mode}

And now for my own rant. Grrr.......

What kind of moron who drives a motorized vehicle doesn't look the way that they direct their car until [a]after they've hit someone else?
Yep, got hit by some

who decided they really didn't want to be in the 'this lane MUST turn right' lane and changed lanes....right into me.
Fortunately they only thing I got was the paint from her car. (Yea, Saturns!) We both opted not to call the police (I can get the paint off and her ins won't cover broad colission.) But still....her front bumper was even with my back seat, so not only did she not look left...she didn't even look straight ahead!
GAAAHHH!!!!!!

I needed a place to rant. SO I am ranting - Cingular SUCKS! If you ever have to call customer service for ANYTHING - you might as well put a bullet in your brain pan. It will be less painful, less messy and more constructive.

Ohhhhhh. Another Cingular hater! They suck so bad. When I signed up originally they wouldn't tell me what the final cost of my bill would be for the month after taxes and hidden charges, but they gave me a ballpark figure and when I got my first bill it was $6.00/mo more than they told me. I was unemployed most of the time I had the phone and I slept during the day and was usually out at night, but somehow one month they claimed I went over on my minutes enough to raise my $47.00/mo bill to $175.00+. I argued that with them for a few months and finally I stopped even calling them. They just kept telling me that if I didn't like their service that I could just pay the $250.00 cancellation fee. I told them to go to hell and they wouldn't get a dime out of me and I never used the phone again.

Well.... the bills kept pileing up and 4 months later I owed them over $400.00 between the first rediculous bill, late fees, and 4 months of service that I never even used once. They claimed that I never cancelled the phone and just because I didn't use it didn't mean that they couldn't charge me for it. They finally cancelled the service and sent me a bill for something like $685.00 with the cancellation fee. I told them they could stick it up their gorram arses.

That's when the bastards sicked their collection agency on me that would call every day saying that I owed the $685 + another $125 for their agency's fee. They also claimed that they were going to ruin my stellar credit record (My score was 765 at the time). When I told them I couldn't pay he said that the computer showed that I had 5 credit cards and access to over $20,000. Finally I settled with them for the original $685.00 that I couldn't afford at the time just to get them off my back. I basically paid for 14 months service for nothing in the end. Lousy gorram bastards!

I hear that there is a class action lawsuit against them. I'm not doing much at the moment. I think I'll look into it. If I find out anything good I'll let you know. Maybe I can get some of that money back.

Edit: Looks like the lawsuit is only for customers of AT&T that were screwed after Cingular bought them out and degraded all of their services so they would buy a new contract. Looks like I'm SOL. Maybe it will help you though.

Been there...Definitely know that feeling. 'Swhy I learned/developed my "mad scientist" look (wide, crazy eyed look, derranged grin, scary cackle, and rubbing of hands as my voice drops a level or two -- sorta like this: ).

Unfortunately you've gotta "train" 'em to fear your 'crazy' persona the first or second time they act like nuts.

'Course, if you want to trade 'horror' stories of some of th' "lovelies" (and yeah, some of 'em will grow on you....like a fungus) feel free to PM me and I'll lend a willing ear and comfort iff'n you like.

*looks at Penguin all puppydog-eyed* But, but, Penguin!! *ponders for a moment* Seriously though, some of those kids need a strong, decent, adult male in their lives. (And I wish the job was merely babysitting, there'd be a hella lot less paperwork and stupidity from politicians and others who're all hot air .)

While we're ranting: It's too hot to be starting school this week! *pouts*

Arrg!! No shoulder on my road. Actually, no shoulder on any road around me! I've been riding my bike a lot lately to get around (no gas money and construcitve exercise) but non of the roads have any gorram shoulders!!! I either get to ride in the ditch and pick up ticks or in the road and hope no one hits me! Gahh!!!

I'm sure my being in the road also upsets the people in cars who have to drive around me.

See, I wouldn't be so bothered by it if I hadn't seen a dozen other people riding bikes on the same ruttin' road! Obviously there are a fair number of people biking on this road. Why has no one taken this into account? Three housing developements have been put up in my area in the last five years(grumble grumble, raised the water table, too many people, grumble grumble- another rant fo another time). They brought in many families with children and bicycles. And still no shoulder, no bike lane, no sidewalk! Come On!!!
