Snark/rant

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

well yeah.

you don't need to tell me twice.

...

but you CAN

[Griffin NoName]

But that wouldn't be snarking or ranting. It's just so last post. See, we don't need that last post thread. Now that is something to snark and rant about.

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

OK, fine. School sucks, I hate getting up at 5:30, and i should've gone to be bed like 2 hours ago.

last post

[Aggie]

...And (and this one's the kicker) after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came out.

*snerk*

OK, I only bought one of their albums at the time, but still.... 

OTOH, I'm just a wee bit younger than London Calling. 

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

As good as youth is, I can't wait untill I'm like, 60. because that'll be 2052.

it'll be the fifties.

GODDAMN FIFTIES. they'll be re-inventing the TV!

My sister and I have agreed to reffer to the 2020's as "The Roaring Twenties" and then in '29 we'll insist that we've fallen into a depression.

Don't jinx my future stocks, Q.... 

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

Hell, you're in Canada. our depression shouldn't affect you that much.

the twenties should be fun... considering we'll be able to say it's the twenties. "we haven't been able to say that since the 90's. and... oh god... the 90's..."

[Aggie]

Twenties?  It'll be the 40's when I get there.


And with globalization, when the US goes down, EVERYONE goes down.  Like the last month here....

[Griffin NoName]

Sounds like the 21st century is just like Groundhog Day.

I can't sleep. Snark.

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

oh... good point, Agujjie. last time we weren't a superpower.

I didn't notice anything last month. I mean, I heard about some stock drops...

anyway, SNARK SNARK NEED SLEEP RANT RANT HATE HATE SLEEP SLEEP!

If you like, during the new "Roaring Twenties", you could open a speakeasy and I could bootleg alcohol to you.     I doubt they'd bring back Prohibition, but we can pretend.

BTW - You're not going to like 2017-2018.  There's mud, lots of mud.  Explosions and stuff too.  Still, it could be worse: your European and Canadian friends will have been sitting in it for three years by the time you get there.

hmmm sounds as if sibling lambi has been time travelling again
or possibly just psychic
(or possibly a repeat of some war or something) if there are mules then its a war repeat thing

you know that time travel will make you go blind right


I really want to rant about people who ask questions after they have already been answered
ie: last night in class the prof is going over the chapter(you know the ones laid out in the syllabus- that says all chapters assigned should be read by that class meeting. Also the prof says "I lecture from the text so if you've read it then you should be able to follow me pretty well."
anyway- woman in the front row-comes in late and leaves early-every class and we've only had 3 so far (yet another snark)
prof says now lets talk about the chart on work flow in chapter 6 for a few minutes(chapter 6 right there on the syllabus folks)
she's quiet for a few minutes
raises hand
and says
"Where are you getting this information?"

I want to throw stuff at her- like my shoe or something.

Does that mean that we are in the irrational exuberance of the Belle Epoque?

Some of us.  I'm still in shock from the recent occurrence of one of the events that would lead to the ring I wear now.

We had the same thing in one of my classes last year (and I fear this year as well). Arrives half an hour late for an hour's session, and we spend the second half hour with her managing to waste time getting filled in on the first half hour. Of course, really the "teacher" should stop this. So I fume double. Then I do this stupid thing where I make patience a virtue and challenge myself not to say anything about it instead of speaking up about it. This leaves me even more gruntled. Maybe if this person is in my group and does the same this year I will speak up.
