there are days...
Jan. 30th, 2004 11:32 amMy mood was pretty grumpy until a few moments ago, between the hugely amusing kitty quiz (at bottom of entry) and the big hug I got from George.
As good a day as Wednesday was on the work front, today sucked. It sucked a lot. In fact, it was one of those "I should SO have stayed in bed" days.
I've already stated how much I hate teaching a two-hour, forty-five minute class. And, really -- almost three hours on an intro comp class? Oy.
But fill that class up with a slew of apathetic twenty-somethings who think there's nothing I can teach them, because I'm not that much older than they are, who think I don't really MEAN it when I give them reading assignments (so they don't do them), and who think I'm just teasing when I point out that I have no tolerance for sleeping in class?
Double oy. There are FIVE -- count 'em, FIVE -- people in that class who aren't on my shit list right now.
Blargh. Headache.
It's only 11:30 (and if you're keeping score at home, you're probably realizing that class should not have been let out for another fifteen minutes -- I got that fed up), and I feel like I've been up all day.
Maybe I'll take a quick fifteen minute cat nap. That should take care of the headache if nothing else.
Actually -- bright side! I don't have to deal with them again until NEXT Friday! And then I can be the uberbitch I warned them about! Whee!
But, first, what helped improve my mood from "crabby bitch" to "amused"!
OOH! SHINY!
EDIT: ...I just couldn't resist.
