That reminds me, I'm actually in a kind of feud with my current neighbor. Whenever we get an advert or booklet put on our doors, my neighbor will stick whatever's on his door onto MY door instead of taking it in and throwing it away like most normal folks do. So I stick it right back on his door. It normally goes back and forth a few times before he caves in and stops trying to force his trash on me. In our latest spat, though, he decided to throw the advert onto the floor right in front of my door. I kicked it back over to his side. He kicked it back yesterday, so I taped it down in front of his door last night. I'm giddy with excitement to see how he'll choose to respond to that.@basedcowboy: My guesses were pretty much in line with everyone else's. xD
Typical coteacher drama. I swear this woman has some personal vendetta with me. I really just want to tell her that she's a grown-ass woman and she needs to act like it. Petty comments and snide remarks and blatant attempts to undermine me in front of the class are not the way to handle any perceived issues.Any advice on how to handle vindictive, micromanaging, supremely unhelpful coteachers welcome.
Hah, so this flyer thing isn't really a unique situation for me, is it? xDYeah, the flyer I taped down in front of his place is still there, but he's taken down another advert and tossed it on the floor in front of my door. Seriously, the guy's an asshole. Maybe I should do what lifeisgood did. xD
Oh my god. I'm gonna snap. It is a real pet peeve that people here have no regard for conserving energy. The aircon in our office is making the room nice and cool. Some bitch comes in, opens the door, turns on the fan, then proceeds to sit down and eat her stankin ass kimchi while the aircon is still running.

Know that as we speak there are huge numbers of people with their windows down blasting the AC in their cars, schools, stores, etc. I'm quite a pessimist, with some realism thrown in.
Eating that cereal this morning instead of last night's leftover steak was a mistake. I'm so hungry that I feel like I could resort to cannibalism right now. Why did I do it?

What you are feeling is sugar withdrawals.Not semantics, but it is a physiological/chemical/??? difference with what is actually happening in your body.True hunger takes weeks to kick in and it happens in your throat, not your stomach.
I can't even believe the schooling system here sometimes. Working at a high school, in charge of my own grades and all that. One student came up to me to try and change his failing grade... for all 6 semesters of his high school career. The previous teacher failed him because he never showed up to class, I failed him for 2 years because he never showed up to class. He brought his friend to talk to me to ask for passing grades. I tell him he has to do some work, like anyone else that fails. I start giving him his assignments, one small task for every semester, and he starts complaining that it's too hard and please teacher-ing me. HE THEN TRIES TO BRIBE ME. "But teacher I have a lot of money..."
