Guess what kind of day it is...

I had to go and register for classes, where they expected me to pay them with money that I don't have, and it took all manner of cajoling and arguing until they were willing to wait the few weeks until I have the money to give them.

I'm not sure I want to be a social worker anymore. Being a social worker would entail helping people. I don't want to help people, I want to beat people in the face with a brick until they help me. Of course, engaging in the first part of that plan probably negates the second part.

Kneel before Zod.

Hit them in the knees until they help you. They'll survive longer, and that way, you'll get more abject terror.

Here, you can borrow my chainsaw.

I think this needs to be metaquoted.

You are well on your way to being a social worker. It's four steps:

1. Want to help people
2. Become enraged at the process of training
3. Become resigned to being a cog in the machine
4. Realize you have power over others and seek revenge

Good luck on your descent into hell. :-)

Recognizing your latent need for megalomania is the first of the 12 steps.

12 steps toward global domination, but still, it's not a bad gig....

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

That is just helping them to understand how much they must help you!

This is the kind of post that fills me with great affection for you, Mr. B. :)

Just something to look forward to...

oof, you have my heartfelt sympathies.



i’m currently contending with Bunker Hill - the class for which i had already registered has been cancelled due to insufficient registration, and by the time they got around to telling me this, the other classes i might have taken instead all filled up. so i’m trying to get the Dean to let me get into a class that’s already full.
