Okay, am I ever? But that's not the point.
This morning I am woken up by the puppy having a dream at 8 am. Cute, but early. My class isn't til 2:30. boo.
Walk puppy, shower, decide to go to campus early to do Latin becuase Iive stupidly left my OCT of Catullus in the office last night.
So I get off the bus, trip up the staris outside and the quart of Chai mix in my bag burst all over all my possessions. Luckily the computer was in another pocker and only got a little sticky. I, on the other hand, am covered in Chai from the ankles down and spotty everywhere else. Lovely. I call the hubby for clean pants. He arrives an hour later with overalls. Did I mention I'm giving a presentation today? Luckily, my pants are tan capris and the chai spots don't show much. Then he calls dibs on "OUR" computer for the whole night tonight so he can write grants for his band. Esqueeze me? I may have ordered it in his name, but my department /fin aid is paying for it. Ass. Then I find out I get the dubious pleasure next spring of TAing for--get this-- Introduction to Religions of the World. Fuck me sideways, man. Seriously?
"We base our offers of appointment on a variety of factors, trying to match your strengths, interests, and needs for professional development with the realities of our undergraduate curriculum."
In other words, "We need a TA for this thankless job nobody wants. You're low on the proverbial totem pole and didn't make gpa last term, hence, we ignore your qualifications and your request NOT to TA a religion class and fuck you in the ass sans lube. But you won't complain because you are a poor grad-slave and you need the money. BTW, if enrollment drops below 75% for the class, even by one student, your appointment gets cut in half."
Thanks. Why don't I just drop out, get knocked up and become a housewife? Because obviously I'm not good for anything else.
Now everything is pissing me off today. Every little friggin' thing makes me want to punch someone in the face.
