A day of *headdesk*
Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 1:03PM *Note: "student" represents a number of students crossing my path today.
Student: The printer isn't working.
Me: Okay, what does it say?
Student: Load Tray 2, plain letter.
Me: Okay?
Student: I don't know what that means.
Me: *headdesk*
~~~
Student: I don't believe that Chris Brown did all the stuff to Rihanna that they're saying he did. I mean, like, who really bites people? No one would really bite someone. And he choked her unconscious? Then why wasn't she screaming? If someone choked me unconscious, I'd sure as hell be f'ing screaming.
Me: *headdesk*
~~~
Student: *singing*
Me: *glaring* . . . to no effect.
~~~
Me: *opens tasty salad for lunch, puts on light Italian dressing, starts eating*
Student: OH MY GOD! IT SMELLS LIKE ASS IN HERE!
Other students: *poke her and point to my salad*
Me: Or it could smell like my salad.
Student: *says nothing, turns back to computer*
Me: *thinking* "Sure, I accept your apology, thanks."
~~~
Me: Sorry, but we require that you use headphones in here when you listen to music or watch a video on the computer.
Student: *stares at me blankly*
Me: *noticing earbuds* Oh you have earphones on? You might want to turn them down.
Student: You can hear this all the way over there?
Me: Yes, loud and clear, actually.
Student: *rolls eyes, goes back to computer, does not lower volume on earphones*
Me: *tries not to smack student upside head*

I am earning my paycheck today. I wish I was home unpacking instead.
education, things that make me angry, work in life, work

LOL
Why do dumb people always surround us? Is it a test in patience?
I'd give myself a B- if it were a test, then. I succeeded in not lashing out at them, but I did not succeed at overcoming the problem.
