Random Rants LV: The Joy of Ranting

Poor Angela died at the weekend. She went a lot quicker than I thought she would: about 3 weeks since she got the results of a scan, and she decided to let nature take its course. Big shame, even so.

And poor mad 93 year old Bob got himself carted off in an ambulance today.
 
I dont know who these people are, but younprobably were somehow close to them, so my condolences.
 
No. Honestly, I'm not close at all. They're just acquaintances I met through some volunteer (of a compulsory nature, in case you think I'm some kind of kind-hearted soul - I'm really not) work I do.

Old Bob has fairly severe Alzheimers, which is interesting, in a rather repetitive way. But Angela was a rather nice 76 old woman who I seemed to have some kind of rapport with straight away.

None of this is particularly significant to me. I just thought I'd write a few lines here to unburden myself a bit, I suppose. Why not? It's as much a rant as people saying it's raining, snowing or they've hayfever.
 
A worsening of one's own condition, as insignificant as it may be is very susceptible to generate a post in this thread. The probability increases exponentially with the level of boredom.
 
$5$@#@^^&!!!!!

Playing chess on line I had one bad day.

And on that bad day I made at least one move in every game I am playing, most of them bad.

Now I have pretty much all my games in 'should I just resign or play it out' mode and just opening the chess site is like a chore.
 
A bunch of mistakes just delayed my experiments by one day for this week. Ugh....

Depending on what it is, you can probably get a couple day's forgiveness. First thing tomorrow, man!

I already got a few day's forgiveness! I think I have a chance, and I plan on waking up freakishly early by my standards to turn in as much as I can. But my parents and profs worked hard to help me out with this, and if I fail, I'll have let them down so much and so thoroughly proven my worthlessness for the umpteenth time that I will lose interest in life. I will never be able to live it down. I have CRIPPLING forgetfulness, disorganization, and procrastination.
 
I just HATE having to do math questions online.

Reason 1: It's either right or wrong.

Reason 2: The work that you demonstrate does not mean anything as long as the answer is wrong.

Reason 3: The professors that have bad English sometimes word a question in one way, but actually mean something completely different.

The anger I get from working 15 minutes on a long question, just to press "Ok", and then having my answer be incorrect is unbelievable. It makes me feel like bashing my door, going outside and diving into the snow.
 
I'm glad I'm done with WebAssign. Though in my experience, they're a bit lenient and allow some wrong answers, even giving some hints.
