The Joys of Tutoring Maths

So, at lunch today we had a conversation about math tutoring (yes- we are a little sad), because at some stage or another, we'd all tried it, with varying degrees of success. Now, usually, this conversation would have disappeared from my brain like so many other pieces of non-essential information (eg. that guy's name from the weekend....), except for the fact that, as I sit here now, in the maths lab, someone behind me is tutoring a dumb first year.
It's funny just listening to the tutor
-he is speaking reeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyy ssslllllooooowwwwllllyyyy

Stoopid people

So I'm in the maths lab doing a few of my seemingly endless assignments. This is not as bad as it sounds (despite my endless complaining), except for one thing: one of the other people in the lab is stupid. Let me elaborate. Now, you all know how headphones work don't you? You plug them in and then you can listen to your crappy synth/faux-latin/whiny muzak and no-one else will murder you. Easy. Unfortunately this girl here, doing her maths homework is SO smart that she doesn't know this. She's managed to make it come out of the computer speakers. And she's WEARING HER HEADPHONES. Fuckwit.

Finger Food

so... apparantly some dude found a finger in his ice cream. In America, of course, but damn.

"I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'"

here's the whole article...

New MSN, New Bloat

So, I decided to try the new MSN Messenger. It's up to version 7.0 now. As you're guessing by the topic, the new MSN's 7.3MB download is even more bloated than previous versions.

With your new Messenger, you have the option of installing yet more crap, like an MSN toolbar in your browser, or a MSN-branded popup blocker. Oh yeah, and it occupies even more screen real-estate.

Compare MSN Messenger 7.0 to version 4.7:

Would You Like Coffee With That?

That's what it says on the back of my work shirt. I HATE it. And then today, in my break, some prick says "It says it on the back of your shirt, would you like a coffee with that." FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I know it says that. I hate that it says that. I am filled with bitterness and rage as I put it on each and every morning, because I know the words that will be branded on my back until I get home and change it. Bah. I really don't care wether or not you want a bloody coffee.
