As a student, I agree entirely but... I've found teachers can be just as argumentative.

Vodka is apparently a good treatment for cold sores. I am trying it out, and I will let you know if it works or not...finally, some use for the bottle under the sink that's been there for the past 2 years...

Teaching a group of children becomes less fun the older and less english-speaking the children are. For example, a group of Catalan secondary school students will make fun of you, and you will not know what they are saying. It also doesn't help if you're not much older than them, or support the wrong football team.

Lesson learned.

It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.

Sometimes my dreams are so good, and my memory is so bad that I can't remember if it really happened or not. Thankfully I'm sane enough to realise that it usually didn't...

Spent a good few hours today in work freaking because it's that time of year for Quarterly Reports to be handed in to our new boss (the same guy that once tried to set fire to my desk, and that I used to throw paperclips into his dreadlocks), and on inspection, most of my Feedback reports had gone up by an average of 10%. I worried, and worried, and worried, and tried to fudge the data, but ended up shutting the document down and going outside with a friend to chew on another cigarette to calm my nerves...we agreed to rant for 5 mins each on what was bugging us today, with a 2 minute 'it'll be just fine, don't worry, it's not your fault' verification from the other person. She went first. On my turn, I was about 10 seconds into my 'I'm so screwed' rant when she started laughing and gave me a big hug. Muggins here hadn't realised that it's 'Up is good' 'down is bad'. For 2 damned years...//facepalm//
