I'm no longer referred to as an ETN2. Navy got rid of referring people by their rate.

aks... y u do dis.


also, 99% of the mean things i say are meant to be light-hearted/flippant. .5% is genuine salt because someone's annoyed me. the remaining .5% is righteous fury usually directed at people who end up banned, because there isn't a whole lot that pisses me off that doesn't also piss off Brill.

also, grats on the sex, zet. keep up the good work.

Ha! sex is dumb u nerds, get a hobby

what if sex is my hobby?


I mean it's not, but I sure as fuck know some guys where that is the case. one of my best friends keeps a spreadsheet detailing all of his hookups, their name if he got it, when he met them, what they did, how often they met up and when it happened, etc.


and yes, he's fucked in the head. but it's working for him so I don't judge.

Spoiler: show

(and yes I am on his spreadsheet >_> many times)

Supposed to see a car tomorrow. The dude already pushed back from Tuesday and was supposed to be at noon and it's pushed back to four now. If this guy backs out and probably gonna lose my s***. It'll be the third time someone's backed out on something I wanted.

[Yuri-G]

gdi Airenn this would have dovetailed so nicely with your previous posts if you had said "pulled out"

Well I'm just gonna add to the workplace complaints on this one today. These are not exact quotes but rough estimations of today's events.

Me, working at my station around 10:30am this morning, a wild sales person approaches--

Sales guy-- "Hey there, are you really busy at the moment?"
Me-- "Yes, I actually am incredibly busy. As you know since you've worked here for a year, Fridays are our busiest days of the week."
Sales guy-- "Okay, well I've actually got this thing I need you to do for me for a client and we have a meeting at noon, sooooo"
Me-- "Okay, well I guess I have to interrupt my tasks to do something for you after all then. Sure."

Me, completes the task about 30 minutes later, returning to the sales person--

Me-- "I finished that thing for you. Now I will return to my job."
Sales guy-- "Oh hey, here's an incredibly important detail I should have told you before you started."
Me-- "...you know this means I now have to do this, again, because of this detail..."
Sales guy-- "Yeah the meeting is in an hour, thanks!"

Me, completes the task for a second time around 20 minutes later--
Me-- "I have now done your thing for a 2nd time and lost roughly an hour of the time I needed to work on my tasks."
Sales guy, walking out the door to his noon meeting with client-- "Hey thanks man!"

Two hours pass by, sales guy returns--
Sales guy-- "Thanks again! Go ahead and finalize that thing you did for me."
Me-- "I will now complete your project that you are dependent on me to do."
Takes another 15 minutes or so out of my work day.

Another hour passes by, sales guy calls me on the phone--
Sales guy-- "Yeah, so the client's campaign team didn't like what we did. They are just gonna do it in house and send it to us when they are done."
Me-- "Well that was a colossal waste of roughly 1/3 of my work day to get nothing accomplished, and actually put me behind."
Sales guy--"Yeah thanks! BTW my salary is roughly four times more than yours. Byeeeeeee~"

Me, departs in a rocket ship, forever leaving this planet behind; fin

Seriously. I saw car and I was looking for that too.

Went out for drinks after work with a few coworkers.

I get home and I have three emails from one student about grades.

First one: 4:49 PM "May you please put in the grades thx"
Second one: 5:53 PM "?" (yes, he literally just sent me a fucking question mark)
Third one: 6:21 PM "May you please fix the grades"

I HAD NOT EVEN GOTTEN HOME YET, KID.

And even if I had, I am not obligated to jump up and put in grades the minute you ask me to, when you had absolutely no urgency about getting your work done on time in the first place. This kid is constantly bitching about his grades and all the zeroes he has, when he doesn't bother to turn shit in half the time. Don't come crying to me about your grades being poor when YOU are the entire reason your grades are poor.

[Airenn]

Sorry guys, heh. Little sick lately and actually frustrated over this one, so not as intentionally funny.

It's a nice car for a good price. Bank approved loan.

I'm worried he's showing to other people before me.

Wait who the heck even cares about grades right away? Fuck why does he even have the ability to track this shit in real time. That sounds like a fail in itself

Many schools now use learning management software that lets students and their parents log in and view the status of the gradebook in each of their classes in real time.

This is simple.

Dear asshole shithead,
This is not your personal Kik app and I am not obligated to answer your poorly worded, grammatically incorrect, and demanding emails at your convenience. In fact, I am not obligated to answer your emails at all. Since I am a nice person, I will take this opportunity to respond and tell you that you will get your grades updated at my convenience when I update all of the grades for the whole class during work hours.

Sincerely,
Sarcastic Salty Teacher Who Gives No Fucks

*You may want to clean it up and run it past a focus group to see how it will be received.

[BaneTheBrawler]

focus group says no

[Aksannyi]

It gets better:

1. This kid emails me every Friday. I have ignored his emails for the past couple of weeks now.
2. He sent me another email while I was taking a nap, bringing his total for the weekend up to 4.

I'm not putting in a single fucking grade until Monday now.

This. And also, this is a good thing. Kids lie. Constantly. Having a real-time gradebook means that I don't get bombarded with emails/phone calls after report cards come out and Little Timmy the Liar told his parent he was getting a B but he actually gets a D. It puts everything out there so that the kids and parents can see exactly how these kids arrived at the grades they have. They can see every single assignment and every single time Lazy Larry didn't turn something in. It puts a lot less pressure on us, because it's always available for parents and no one can say I just "gave" a kid a grade because I don't like him/her. I mean, they can try, but it's a hell of a lot harder to prove.

Do your job like a professional. Stop being lazy ffs. I remember in high school I had an english teacher send home a progress report where she hadn't graded 60% of the items on the report, but wanted a parent signature anyway. Do the job you get paid to do.

[FNH]

Lazy Larry didn't turn something in.

Pot, meet Kettle. #hypocrisy

[Brill Weave]

So a teacher is mad because a student actually WANTS to know what their grades are. This is some world we live in.
