Grading papers. Observations:

If your teacher writes "Yes! Yes!!!" next to a pretty normal question you got right, like a 35-year-old virgin discovering orgasms, you can bet 10 people missed it right before you and the teacher's desk has face-shaped dents in it.

Oh my god read the very, very basic directions. The super basic ones. The ones that say things like "here are ten questions. Please answer them."

If your paper has a grade crossed out and rewritten a few times, you know you managed to be just barely, ambiguously wrong in new and frustrating ways, and the teacher is cursing your name for making them spend ten minutes instead of thirty seconds on your grade.

I will tell you a short and unimportant #story

In the mid-80s I became a stinky teenager, so I got deodorant. I was deeply embarrassed about all things body-related, so I got the most common deodorant purchased by other embarrassed nerds in my school: Speed Stick. At the time, I think there was only one variety. It didn't look exactly like this picture, but I think this is more or less what it was.

For the next three to five years I received many compliments on my "cologne" or my "scent" when I only had Normal Regular Green Speed Stick. Something about my stinky teenage hormones apparently made my BO mix with this mass-produced one-size-disguises-all-stenches formula to create an accidentally personally amazing smell. Just for me.

By my early 20s the magic was gone. I just smelled like some dude wearing Speed Stick. I will never recapture that glory.

Some of the excuses I have been given all have a familiar feel.

Too old, not old enough, not in our area, auspol tells you to ask x,y and z (they say they need a referral first from #auspol), our housing staff are all on holidays (at the same time), our email/voicemail is not working, you have plenty of time, why have you left it this late, inspect more non-existant or dangerous properties, #coflicting much? #gaslighting

My thoughts exactly every time I translate in my head to “but not important enough to adjust our staffing levels and hire more people” So, not important then. #notimportant #higherthanusual #bogusclaim #lying https://wandering.shop/@kagan/113147521776221170

Dear Every Company Everywhere: If you are "experiencing longer-than-usual wait times" *every time* I call you, then those times are, by definition, the usual times. You need to hire more help-line staff. The fact that you refuse to do makes it clear that my call is not, in fact, "important to [you]." So that's two bullshit lies before I even get to talk to someone. Not a good look. Corporate America, do better.
