Truthfulness. It always gets you in trouble. Especially if you tell people you're a werewolf.

Sleeping in until 1:30 pm...

No, seriously, I mean it. Okay, sure I don't have to do anything until 5:30, and okay, it's true that I only got to bed at around 3:00 am thanks to the 'Downs, and yes, it was blissful while it lasted...

However, when you were planning to get up at 10:30, or before noon anyway, to find that you pretty much lost half your pre-work day isn't fun.

Especially when you're having a near-hypoglycemic episode.

And, by the way, I am sending hypoglycemia to Mordor. Let's see the orks deal with diabetes.

Poeple who don't use their turn signals. or even worse, turn them on in their turn. That is not helpful. At all.

I send to Mordor useless workplace events. The kind of thing where everyone is brought together and made to go to a hotel and do activities and listen to dull talks and 'network'. Bah Humbug. The same old things turn up as 'moans' at every single one, which suggests that all this 'feedback' never gets acted upon anyway, and they take you away from all that work that's just poling up on your desk and you know the next week is going to be more busy than ever.

Still, it's always enlivened by a little subversive activity. Such as during a session using art and crafts to express what our work 'means', making pink hearts with "I Luv Work" written on them in gold glitter and sticking them on the 'group collage'. Meh.

I would like to take a moment and assign the idiotic behavour of my school peers to Mordor. For four years now they have lost us one privilage after another and not only did their actions recently lose us all non-stictly-supervised computer use but they have not ceased to behave like the most baseborn of all idiotic creatures ever to exist. Just once I'd like to have a situation where our grades are called together for some purpose other than being lectured at. Failing that I wish that the administration would at least do something. Seriously, if they can take the effort to regularly lecture us and restrict those scant privilages we have remaining you'd think they could exert a little mental thought, or even just look around, and punish just one of the failures.

Gah, thank you.

Boots Why are they doing this to me?

Scheduling. That most evil time of year in which you are required to plan out the rest of your life and made to believe you have absolutely no time to do anything you actually WANT to do just because you have a riduculous amount of General Education requirements left to fulfill and then you won't be able to study abroad and you are going to be a failure at life and so on and so forth. It sucks. I ought to have it easy for next semester, because I already know three of the classes that I have to take. And yet, I don't know whether to take my theology or my math credit and then where am I going to get my physical activity credits and do you see what I mean? And then, the administration thought it would be a good idea to schedule room draw for the same week! So people are not only going to be stressed out about classes, but also who they want to live with next year and how to avoid living in the "bad" dorms. So, in other words, I'm sending the administration of my school. The Board of Regents, too. I like the president we have, thank you. We don't need a new one.
