I am utterly excited and frightened because of tomorrow. I have never been to an assessment centre before, but I guess that I won't be able to talk much if there are other applicants in the room as well since I am very shy and hate competition. From what I have heard, they might even include roleplays (I've done some as part of a counselling course before but never in a competitive environment) like having to calm down an angry library visitor...very tempted to tell them that the Collective will see to all their bookish needs if they are patient and display proper decorum...

Student came to me to explain that another student has been acting inappropriately in my class. She acts very guilty and ashamed for sharing this information with me, as if it is somehow her fault when it's definitely not.
I'm like, don't feel guilty, this is my job. You did the right thing. This is what I need to know to make sure no one is being treated wrongly in my classroom. It's not okay for someone to be getting away with this. I'll look into it. You did good.
She kept apologizing all the way through though. It makes me so angry that people feel bad about calling out other people's crap. This is how people get away with bad behavior. And I'm not mad at her but at the system that makes this happen, because we're not supposed to rock the boat, we're supposed to look the other way to keep the peace, but as we learned in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the status quo is not quo. Rage against the man, etc.

RIP Prince.... Not the kind of news I wanted to wake up to today.
Doves will cry today.
Seriously, screw you, 2016. I LOVED listening to Prince's music when I was young. He did a performance here in NZ back in February, but I was unable to attend. Didn't think it would be one of his last EVER performances.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.

I would give you a hug to make you feel better, but I'm 95% sure I'd get glitter on me, and would somehow keep finding it on my person for the next three years.
Once again Nintendo is more concerned with delivering their interface gimmick du jour instead of a solid gameplay experience. Most of the levels are just kind of dull. The soundtrack is insipid. The voice acting is lifeless. It riffs too much on Star Fox 64 without improving on (or even getting right) any of the elements that made SF64 so tight and engaging.
It just bums me out in a major way that we've now reached the point where there are more mediocre-to-shitty console installments in the franchise than good ones.
So, while I'm in the best possible situation for this news, I am not welcoming fibromyalgia into my life happily. I have a support system, a very close friend who I live with has it, and we've already made lifestyle changes to cater to their fibro, so I have resources and friends and I'm on the track to doing everything right I need to. It's just ... this is my life now. I'm not going to let it rule my life, but my Lusternia play time is going to be wonky until I've got this under control. I have answers, I can move forward, and I'm not alone. It's a lot less scary this way. I'm counting myself very lucky that I have what I do for this.
(I'm like 90% sure I'm going to get rejected from the school I applied to as well, but that disappointment is offset by the fact that I'm getting my very first car, so I'm just moving forward with things and doing what I can. Maybe I can salvage this situation, I dunno. Past few days = roller coaster,)

So my 3 stepkids' biodad, who can't seem to keep a job or pay child support, was able to send his 14 year old daughter an 800$ laptop on a whim just because she mentioned she didn't have one. Within 4 days of her mentioning it.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

The semester is almost over. But it's not over soon enough.
Adding to this. Friend was in ER today. Was very stressed out. I have so much to do tonight and all I really want is to lie in bed, not feeling anything. I'm just too tired to expend anymore emotional energy today.

Sorry to hear things are so stressful, hope things improve for you soon... *big hugs*
Kiss of the Enchantress hisses eerily, "Let them fear, and despair."
So. Today I learned that it's essentially impossible for me to get a raise. It doesn't matter that I know the computer systems like the back of my hand (in some instances, far better than the people who are hired as techs). It doesn't matter that I'm far more flexible than most people, and that I can fill essentially any position in any department. It doesn't matter that no matter where I am, I work far harder than they expect me to. I still only get paid the same as a temp worker that does less than half of what I do at the lowest end of the lowest department. Unless I'm in a position where I'm in charge of people, it's impossible for me to get paid more. Yay...

that's not the point of a dog cafe. It's to play with critters that aren't yours, who you don't have to clean up after.

Please don't let me be sick.
Get email from instructor: Due to unforeseen circumstance I have had to cancel and reschedule the theory exam date. It will now be June 5th.
I am to old to remember this shit for that long!
