My pet peeve of today is that I hate pretty much everyone in the world.
Seriously, what was the point of having Thanksgiving break when you get to look forward to coming back to a living hell?? In case anyone was possibly pondering why I hope the human race dies off soon...really...
I am so sick of everyone nagging at everyone else. I know I'm just as guilty of it as anyone else, but I'm trying to lay off. Unless people nag me, then really, they deserve to get nagged. Or flipped off. Or getting their head ripped off verbally, depending on whether I'm in a good mood or bad mood. Like if someone misses a class by no fault of their own, doesn't get messages passed along to them, and then someone else gives them jack schitt for help when asked, how it is possibly their fault if they don't know what the assignment is?? I think everyone on this damn campus is stressed out, don't make people feel worse.
I also have a feeling that organizations on campus would run a lot better if people just got over other people's mistakes. If someone forgot something once, and they know that they goofed up, just drop it for christ's sake. Really, what is the use in reminding them constantly that they made a mistake, especially if in the long run it didn't make a hell of a big difference in turnout anyway?? Especially if your organization may possibly be hurting for members, do you really need to have more people fed up with you?
In case anyone has forgotten, let me lay it out for you: WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES!
I am also sick to death of getting notice of things less than 24 hours in advance. Back in the day, when I worked as lesson department bitch in an unnamed location in the North Shore area, the policy was "All Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance or you are still expected to pay for the lesson." I think the same should be made when you're scheduling people as well! I don't like getting emails at 2:30 to tell me that I have a rehearsal at 5:30. Whether or not the email was sent in the morning, the point is that I may or may not have already scheduled something for that time slot, and I think it's complete bullshit to expect me to drop my already hectic schedule for you, and then nag when I can't make it. And hell, even if I don't have something scheduled at, say, 5:30 tonight, I DO have class until 5:15 AND class at 6:30, with said 6:30 class going until nine-fucking-thirty. Hasn't anyone ever heard of courtesy? I don't care if you meet with other people at 5:30 tonight on a regular basis. In fact, that just makes it easier for you to let someone like ME know, oh, say LAST WEEK, that this was coming up. Hell, even let me know yesterday. Then I could have planned ahead. Now I'll be lucky to eat dinner at all.
Speaking of rehearsals that come up out of nowhere, today I received another email about a rehearsal on Saturday, not to mention Tuesday and Thursday. And this was a reminder. Excuse me? Doesn't a reminder signify that maybe there was something else sent out a long time earlier? For once someone gave out 24 hours notice, but they could have given out notice way longer, since this is not just one stupid rehearsal that I don't want to go to, but THREE. Especially since the rehearsal might just last for like, 5 hours, and I only play 3 pieces. Fuck fuck fuck. Oh yeah, and let's not forget my other commitment for, oh, 2:30 on Saturday...fuck fuck fuck double fuck again.
Oh yeah, and I also hate professors who give bullshit assignments for us to "teach" the class. I'm not a fucking education major, I learned my lesson after School & Society and Ed Psych. Therefore, I don't want to teach. I don't learn anything when my classmates teach me, and I'm sure my classmates don't learn anything when I teach them. No offense to any of us. But we don't have the fucking doctorate, we don't even have our bachelor's degree yet. We're not getting paid to teach the class, we're paying to take the class. Have the common courtesy to actually TEACH the class, so that I don't have to. If I wanted to teach, I'd be an education major. But surprise, I'm NOT! And ever since my brilliant professor decided to stop teaching, I haven't learned ANYTHING. So my A- from the first half of the semester is going to go bye-bye, since I haven't LEARNED ANYTHING SINCE THE MIDTERM! GODDAMN PROFESSORS, YOU'RE GETTING PAID TO TEACH! NOT ME!
So really, what's the point in me trying to teach my entire class Beethoven's 3rd Symphony??? THERE IS NONE! I don't want to teach it, I could care less. Ooh boy, Beethoven was one of the greatest composers ever, I DON'T CARE. As for when I'm going to put together this half hour presentation, I'm not sure, since my entire day is fucking booked now, and so is my entire day tomorrow. Not that it matters, because the stupid presentation is tomorrow afternoon. Guess who's going to get up early tomorrow? Oh yeah, that's right, me, just to make my day from hell a little bit longer, yeah, go ahead. I'll only have shit to do from 8am until 9:30 (OR LATER) at night. Great.
Another thing that has really been bugging me lately (I know, I really should say what I really mean), is people who all of the sudden have a girlfriend. And they're fucking whipped. Like, seriously, badly, pathetically whipped. However, when I want to spend time with my significant other, this same pathetically whipped person is like "blah blah blah, I never get to spend time with your signifcant other anymore because you're always around." My response to them: FUCK YOU. You're never fucking around anymore, but apparently I'm not supposed to be either. Guess what. YOU'RE NOT FUCKING FUNNY! It's not my fault that you have to go running elsewhere at the drop of a hat. I'm busy enough as it is, at the end of the day your best bet is to leave me the fuck alone.
I do have one positive thing to say. Brianna was a huge influence to me! I thought maybe staying at this school would be worth it so that I could get out of undergrad school within four years, but hell! Brianna transferred from Edgewood and has four more years left at UW-Madison, despite the two she already put in at Edgewood, so FUCK IT! I'm outta here! After this upcoming semester, that is, maybe. Then again, UW-Milwaukee applications aren't due for 15 more days, and I don't have to have completely everything in until December 30! Shit! Milwaukee is sounding better and better as every second passes.
I don't care what you think about this posting, but everyone should just get their heads out of their asses and start thinking about the people around them. EVERYONE HERE IS STRESSED OUT! Don't make someone's work load more than they can handle unless it's impossible for you if they don't!
So what did we learn today kids?
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
The 24-hour rule is always a good thing to live by, unless you're dying, or someone in your immediate family is dying, or some other good excuse like that.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES! Acknowledge your own, and stop nagging at others because of theirs.
