Done with that crapbastard SID. Hopefully for good. I dont like those anymore. < > At least it was an 'old style LCD' connection which has more carriers, and flakes out a lot less.mariooncrack posted:Maybe it's John Cena. If it were, I would offer a reward to whomever dropped the tines the fastest.

Toof chats. A shade over a month ago I got a wisdom tooth out. Never heard of anything like sedation before. Do the dentists really prescribe pain killers too? Wow. Anyway I waited all year for this appointment. Had to travel a few hours away to go there too. So worth it. He had it out in about 10 minutes. I think they had to drill it out of the jaw. The dentist that referred me to the dental surgeon said my tooth was like wet cardboard. Bloody amazing work. Way better than aeons of clumsy hacking and prying at my jaw by students like my last one. Never again. So yeah I was happy with the job. He just said to take Nurofen if it hurts. Did it hurt? Like an absolute motherfucker. But that was because my dead tooth kicked off an infection a couple of months beforehand. Removing the tooth sent it full Akira on my jaw. I also got some biological warfare grade flu at the same time. I still have that bitch of a thing. Had to take two courses of antibiotics to get the jaw under control. Constant flow of pus into my mouth, couldn't hear through my right ear and half my molars seemed to be floating and made horrible cracking noises when I bit down. Hooray for teeth! The reason the tooth extractions kind of sucked is it seems like I have hooked roots on them. So no matter how awful they get they don't fall out. yay?

Rip rear end in car as I'm getting out: normally not a problem, it'll be gone next time I get in the car. Do it as I return from a delivery: also not normally a problem, I'm usually stuck in the store for at least 10 minutes, and usually leave the windows slightly cracked in the summer. Get sent back out the door 3 minutes later, when it's just shy of 100F, giving that fart a few minutes to linger and age, like a  It's worse than ripping rear end in a very small walk-in cooler.I gotta cut back on the beans.

I'd love to see everyone complaining about how hard it is to teach middle schoolers to color inside the lines and add and subtract do a real job for a week. Give them a ditch to dig or some formulas to work out and watch them really poo poo their pants. Bunch of loving pussies. My roommate literally came home and bitched about some kid that wouldn't sit still and how his job was so demanding. Bitch you sit down all day and read them history stories out of a book. Here's a Hilti hammer drill mother fucker go core out a bunch of holes in concrete for me and then tell me how hard it is erasing 2 + 2 off the chalkboard.

I was driving back to school with a friend of mine and we got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. I ripped one and then we sat there. Nothing worse than having to deal with a nasty one than being stuck in traffic with it.

Give them a ditch to dig or some formulas to work out and watch them really poo poo their pants. Bunch of loving pussies. Obviously, you have no loving idea what you're talking about. No, it's not as physically demanding as hard physical labor, but you try keeping track of the curriculum of multiple different classes at different levels, and keeping new material and assignments prepared each day. Keep in mind that you have to do this while managing maybe 20-25 misbehaving little individualist libertarians in each class and take care of each of their different levels of aptitude for each subject to ensure they actually learn something. And then you have the bullshit budget cuts and the meddling parents that want to make sure their little angel is getting the best possible education, while also expecting the school to raise their kids, because they're too busy to do it themselves. All of this this has to fit within a normal 8-10 hour workday. It may not be physically demanding (actually, you end up walking loving everywhere in a major hurry), but it's mentally fatiguing as gently caress. Source: My mom has been a teacher for ~30 years.

Honestly, I don't know if I hate dealing with instructors or students the most. Either way, on the management side of things, it's a poo poo sandwich of listening to retarded problems. Having worked in the real world until 8 years ago, I'm completely jaded to their non-issues. I'd love to see how the majority of them would actually perform outside of the warm womb of academia. Protip: there's a reason why people like me have to baby sit them.

KozmoNaut posted:Obviously, you have no loving idea what you're talking about. I guess I got here too late to comment on Super Aggro Crag's view of teaching (I will anyway, though). Yeah, it's not physical (per se, standing and talking for hours on end does tire you out, believe it or not), but there is a lot of energy required to do it. It's not "sitting and talking" and if you really think that's all there is to it, then you've never been in a college classroom.

You couldn't do his job, he couldn't do your job, it's almost as if different people have different aptitudes and skills. Now if both of you swapped and slogged your guts out you could probably pick it up, but everyone whinges about their job, pretty much.

Person doesn't know what the gently caress a power button is apparently. "I USED YOUR WEBSITE LAST NIGHT NOW MY LAPTOP WON'T WORK" OK, where did you go after that? *click* hello? Welp, I guess that answers that.. "MY DVD DRIVE WON'T ACCEPT DISCS, EVERY TIME I PUT ONE IN IT JUST SPITS IT OUT!" Students flipped the desktop upside down. This was a computer instructor.. "WHY AREN'T MY FILES ON THE PC IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN I SAVE THEM TO THE C DRIVE IN MY OFFICE?!? THIS IS CLEARLY BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!" Uhhh.. Let me show you how a "C drive" works.. We get all the retards of the universe calling in and we get the task that nobody wants.. We have to talk them off a ledge while smiling and act like it's our fault, because god forbid you crack a tiny bit of their ego. they're edit: And yes, those were the ones I personally dealt with because "Your people are too incompetent to take care of my issues."  double edit: Also, I could imagine how much worse it would be to deal with not only students but also their parents at the jr. high - high school level since they've apparently graduated from retardation finishing school by the time they get to us. keykey fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Sep 5, 2014 |

That's not quite the issue at hand. The issue is the system is churning out kids/adults that are led to believe that just because they go to school they are entitled to a job or even a certain standard. that's not the way it works, you have to work and be willing to accept the poo poo jobs to begin with to build a resume and to not only realize an opportunity, but take it. As of now, it's more of a congrats, you have a bachelors, so does drat near everybody else. A bachelors is the new high school diploma. Honestly, the program we have here where students will earn the highest amount of money out of this place because we have instructors that work in the industry with a direct line of work is welding. Guess what we are cutting next year so we can pad more programs that are worthless until you get a masters? Don't get me wrong, school is great, however somewhere along the way we have lost the greater vision of vocational programs. Believe it or not, not everybody who graduates with a psychology degree will be a psychologist.

Worker productivity is at an all time high, record profits are posted every quarter, and only if people would stop being so lazy and get a poo poo job then we wouldn't have any of this! The problem is more base and systemic than you think and it really comes down to the straight up greed of corporations. I do agree with you on the vocational stuff, but you're shooting the messenger by placing the blame at academia's feet. sigtrap posted:That "my job is harder than yours" thing is a bottomless pit, anyway.
