OPEN BAR: NO CISNORMATIVE ELVEN PATRIARCHS ALLOWED

[The Wizard Joseph]

Im posting from the classroom I'm TAing in. Because i'm all out of fucks for the term.

That's pretty consistent with my experience with TAs

If you had to hear the stupid-ass excuses people shove at us for why they are incompetent and lazy, you'd be out of fucks too.

One student walked out of class today, actually angry because the final isn't open book. "That's bullshit, man. Some of us smoke a lot of pot".

Like I give a fuck.

What a douche!

So I've been sitting in a hotel lobby for over an hour waiting on my friend's slimeball manager to show for his shift and relieve her. He has some unknown person put up in a room under his name, has been sexually soliciting his employees, is several kinds of drug abuser, and assorted other forms of fraud and negligence.

Is also maybe an arsonist and at least criminally negligent. He was fired some weeks ago and 4 days later there was a dryer fire and the owner rehired him to handle it... not sure why. Our QA in the laundry department was called by our mutual vendor to look at the dryer. I saw the photos. Bad wiring, taped down start button, linnen in the vent, and a load of sheets that caught fire. Can't say it was him or that there was intent, but I'm certainly unable to rule it out.


For the last few days I've been on the fence over whether or not to apply to the owner personally for his job. Today has me ready to kick him into a mechanical meat separator.

Oh he's here now... great. And me without my meat separator.

Right?

She can smoke as much pot as she wants, I don't give any shits, fucks, OR damns. But if she's high as fuck all the time and can't remember enough from the class (which she rarely attends) to pass the final, that would be 100% not my problem.

Give em the cruelest open book exam you can.

Our lecturers hated having to do open book exams, and were often forced to if it said there would be a certain amount of them scheduled in the syllabus from the previous year.

We had a networking exam that suffered from it so he gave us the meanest thing he could:

We were handed an A4 sheet of ASCII chars and all the question stated was "decipher as much information as you can from this"
Most of us got it, it was an encapsulated http packet and all we really need was source IP, port destination, that it was http and that it read "Hello world"

But the first 10 minutes of that exam were horrible, just sitting looking at this scrambled mess without a clue what it meant and a sinking feeling that we were going to get 0%.

  Well YMMV but my world feels a bit tighter and less fun today

I don't know whether he fell or whether he was pushed but he is surely going to be missed in Ankh Morpork, or not

I fucking hate that disease. It's terrifying. He was far too young.

I thought I understood the concept of entitlement, but... Clearly I was unenlightened.

There was also a student who "couldn't" turn in homework all term because her "printer wasn't working". Apparently she also couldn't figure out how to email it to herself at school, save it on Google Drive, use Dropbox, or just do her fucking work on the free computers with free printing at school.

Once again, these are things that are not my problem.

Terry Pratchett died.

This year can pretty much eat a dick at this point.

Jesus Christ.  That was practically what I lived for during my Uni years.  Every single day, I was making multiple trips to the library and back, emailing stuff to myself and printing it off.  If we'd had WiFi back then, it would have been even easier.

Your students sound derpier than most of mine.  And I didn't think that was possible, especially after the "Beer Fairy" incident.

I might need to hear more about this "beer fairy" incident.

Some of my students are brilliant, together, fantastic students who work hard and will go far. Some of them are not particularly intelligent, but they work hard, do the assignments, and will be happy to pass the class with the best grade that is within their capability.

And then there are the rest of them. Many of whom I wonder how the hell they made it to upper-division coursework.
