RANDOM RANTS XXXI: I hate my job

[Red Door]

Isn't University 20% actual academic stuff, 50% procrastination, 28% socialising and 2% sleep?

It's more akin to like 5, 30, 50, 15 respectively.

We all have our own beautiful ratios.

We all have our own beautiful ratios.

%100 hungover is not a beautiful ratio

 

[W|M]

Especially as it's not even a ratio.

Especially as it's not even a ratio.

Number of brain cells that want me to stay at home , eat greasy food and sleep to number of brain cells that want me to go and sell cars

9999999 to 1

( I suspect that this way of putting it isn't a ratio either and you're about to roll me again)

Those numbers are somewhat similar to the Advanced Placement course percentages (10% Academics, 60% Procrastination, 25% Socializing, 5% Sleep), which I doubt is a coincidince. I guess AP's purpose is to prepare us for all the procrastinating we're going to be doing in college.

Maybe my school's AP World cirriculum is too soft, but I found it to be pretty easy as a class. I guess I'll find out more with English, US History, and Government next year.

My AP classes are more like this:

5% history lessons
5% AP test practice
90% hilarious off-topic chatter

 

[Karalysia]

You guys are going have to improve your sleep ratios, to at least 15% in college otherwise you won't be well rested for the procrastination that needs to be done. College procrastination is of much higher quality than high-school procrastination.

Wake up , shocking hangover , toaster pops , the glorious smell as the butter starts to melt . . . . . .

Out of Vegemite ! NOOOOOOOOOO

It's for the best, vegemite is disgusting.

 

[Boundless]

If we're talking about Marmite, which I assume is the same as vegemite, then what are you on about, it's AMAZING.

I would normally patriotically claim that Marmite is NOT the same as Vegemite . But as I need an ally in defense of my beloved axle grease , I'll go with you on this one

 

[azzaman333]

Ugh, hate it when my body does this and I can't sleep...

Girl in library ON HER PHONE while I'm trying to write my dissertation. Anger.

Is she Asian? You should do a youtube rant about it.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I did not need to know that definition of "glass-bottomed boat".

well, thanks for making me look that up - I didn't need to know that either

I watched the movie Thirst on a two and half hour bus journey today. I knew nothing about it except that it was meant to be good and came from the creator of Oldboy.

What I didn't realise that it was a quite erotic and violent vampire movie. Which I'm not complaining about, but the problem arises with the fact that it was a packed bus and I had a random dude sitting next to me. The guy was clearly watching the movie too, and as it was subtitled he could follow it perfectly despite the fact I had headphones on. Now I wasn't awkward with the fact I was watching a graphic movie in public, or just that someone was looking over my shoulder. Thats cool with me.

However one particular sex scene that is quite drawn out and even includes elaborate mutual toe and finger sucking (!). What made me feel awkward was THE GUY NEXT TO ME TOUCHING HIMSELF DURING THE SEX SCENES. Grabbing his crotch. Perhaps he was just hiding an erection, but thats awkward enough in itself. I didn't want to chance a glance as I didn't want to freaking know what he was at, but there was a lot of movement in the groin area. He was at his shuffling again in the second sex scene.

Jesus F. Christ. Is this the way the world has gone? I can't watch a movie with a couple of brief sex scenes (No genitalia) in public without some dude looking over my shoulder and having a shuffle downstairs?

Am I just silly for watching an adult themed movie in public? Should I limit my viewing to Pixar movies for fear of getting off some eagle-eyed, wandering handed member of the public?

 

[Karalysia]

Was it a Greyhound bus? If so then he would probably have been touching himself regardless of if you were watching a movie or not. Just count yourself lucky he didn't try to behead you.
