What an ugly day

[cornerofmadness]

I was woken up at 7 AM by one of those Indian call centers telling me my Windows PC has a virus but they can save me. Then stayed very late to help students who honest...some don't appreciate it. A lot of students any more are aggressive when you make them do anything and have no trouble telling you you expect too much and NEED to be easier because they're going to go complain. Go with God.

And also trying to reassure the students a bit after the terrible happenings in OSU. Going to school shouldn't be so terrifying and dangerous.


The only bright part of the day was cyber monday and buying crap, mostly for me to be honest. How stupid is that? Mostly books, tea and geeky shit. But I did get the Galileo 7 star trek trivial pursuit game for Mom and 50th anniversary St t-shirts for us both.

48075 / 50000 words. 96% done!

Nano Snippet - He saw the mage battling Moki and Solan. Harvest of Sleep in hand, Tenaldi snuck up behind her and managed to clamp a hand over the mage's face, grinding the powder into her nostrils. She blasted him backwards with magic. Incredible pain washed over him as Tenaldi slammed into a tree. Vaguely aware of the mage gagging and Solan screaming his name, Tenaldi tried to force himself up. Everything felt broken.

Mom got one of those calls last week. I happened to walk into the house during it, so I was handed the phone and hung up on them. Mom was aghast at first but pleased afterward.

Sorry about your pushy students and even more sorry about the frightened ones. I agree, school should be a safe place.

Yay for prezzies, no matter who they're for!

I've turned them into various gov. agencies if there is a phone number visible. There wasn't this time.

yeah these students think you get to cater to them.


Lots of prezzies for me! I didn't intend for it to be that way but....50% off in many cases for just one day? Had to buy them.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that about the phone number. Didn't even think of it.

I have heard that a lot recently. Did you see the article about the 10-or-under year old child who's parents have warped him so much with their coddling the judge was considering taking him away from them?

Yay for prezzies!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

No I didn't see that about the kid. They are so amazingly coddled. I don't like where this is going.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's frightening.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It really is. I didn't post about it but we had an incident this year where the whole class filed a complaint against a professor because they thought THEIR answers should be the right ones

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's terrifying.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It is

That call sounds like a scam. XD

That was terrible what happened. School really shouldn't be a frightening place to be.

YAY!! for shopping!! :D

WOW! I hope Tenaldi's alright!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Definitely a scam.

I know, right

the shoppig was good.

tenaldi could be dead

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Unbelievable & scary that they not only have your phone number, but know you've got a compy.

*nods*

YAY! :D

OH NOES!!! T.T

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I often tell them I have an apple and then they don't kow what to say.

Hey I could pull a George RR Martin you know.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

XD


But you're not that evil! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I could be. I sort of want to be. Then again I don't want to just kill characters for no reason left and right

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

XD I think we all could be, but do we really want to be? That is kinda silly. XD

[topum.livejournal.com]

Those calls are a scam. One of my friends likes to pretend to go with it and waste the scammers' time and make them feel like idiots in the end.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh yeahI know. I do that a lot myself but not at 7 in the freaking morning
