You know when you do stupid things...

[Chicklet]

like how I agreed to go in to work on my day off from five pm to nine pm and even though I have the whole day free and it's really only four hours I've given up I feel like the whole day is just a build-up to work? I hate that.

What stupid things do you do that you hate?

 

[MathGirl]

Dear Chickie,
ME do stupid things? Surely you jest.

Ps. Sorry, I know you don't like to be called Shirley.
Pps. Well, there was the time I showed up at noon for a night game, but that doesn't count. Does it?

agree to student teach in Boston which means a 2 hour morning commute with traffic in a school that won't allow me to drink caffeine in front of the kids. That was stupid.

No caffeine?!

I have to work part time without getting paid. Not because I have chosen this myself, but because if I refuse, the social office will cut off my money.

Sweden has returned to the 1800. The big masters are fucking us in the ass, and we stand there and take everything, and thank them for it..!

(Maybe this forum doesn't see what's wrong with this system..?)

I'm unemployed. I have been unemployed for 15 months. The unemployment agency has gotten tired of having me polluting their pretty statistics, so they have placed me on a computer course, which I like very much. Unfortunately, they have this illusion that if they force all of us to do internships, then the companies that we work for for free, will like us so much that they will want to hire us. Therefor, the agency has made a rule that you HAVE TO do an internship, or you'll not get any social benefits. The fact that these companies prefer to sack their interns and get new free labour every 3:rd month, hasn't dawned on the agency.

So, unless I can find a job before the study-part of my course is over, then I'll have to accept whatever sucky internship they throw at me, or get my social benefits cut off.

I hate internships. It's just a way of companies being able to legally get free labour. We had a similar system 1000 years ago. We called it "slavery".

Dear Svenska,
Over here, that's called a "post-doctoral."

so you're going to do this job

and it's not really paying you

but you're still getting money *because* you do this job

The thing I do most often that I hate is I always tend to open my mouth before engaging my brain

You and me both beautiful, always seem to miss a gear with the brain just as the mouth engages.

Funny how my foot never misses a beat and jumps right in there though. Wish my brain acted as fast as my foot

what can you drink in front of the kids

 

[deliciously_naughty]

what can you drink in front of the kids

Water

Great. Fun.

And may I add, that I don't get paid for this...the least they could do is allow me my goddamn diet coke. And Svenska...I don't get money or any sort of social benefit for doing this (no health insurance, no money, nada) it's called requisite student teaching. Thus I have the joy of living at home, a daily 2hour commute in the morning (about 1-1 1/2 hours in the afternoon), and all that comes with that.

How do I get $$? I tutor, which brings in about 80 a week (for 3 hours...not bad, and under the table) which pays for gas and the occasion wild night at mcdonalds. I also have a student loan check, but that has to pay for my car payments, maintenence to the car etc.

Yeah, I should've gotten a more local student teaching position.

BUT I really love teaching, and I just have to do this until Dec 19 and then I graduate, get my degree and next level of certification, and can go find my own classroom where I get paid and get bennies. And I know I'll love the kids. My cooperating teacher seems cool and she's letting me teach all the social studies content, so I'm happy with that. Just sometimes I get all grumbly about the details.

Water

well...i know some people who lived in the dorms that used to pour vodka into waterbottles to pass it off as something more legal for them to be drinking = )

snicker...yeah, I don't think that will be necessary...but maybe I disguise sprite as water? (damn, I don't think it has caffeine.)

They've got a different system over here.

If you don't find a job in six months, they cut off all your "benefits" (i.e., your token unemployment insurance money)

No Doz....with a water chaser.

 

[Chicklet]

no doz is a shitty replacement for yummy, soothing coffee...plus i start to twitch when i take them.

ps - no caffeine in sprite = (

Svens, I think that system sucks, big time. I have an idea to give them a wake up call. Get dressed up really nice, walk into the office that makes the policy or whatever, give him or her a nice tounge swallowing kiss, then turn around and offer him or her your backside and state:

"At least I kissed you before you fucked me. Why dont you start doing the same?"

When life fucks you over, the best thing you can do is get it to kiss you first.

But that's just me. I think the things that I do that I really hate deal with my ADD. I get distracted very easily and I have to work at my attention span. But it really gets bad wh en people yell at me for things they *SAY* they've told me and I know they either havent, or I diddnt register it.
