Well, I am still amidst writing the 30 essays for my History midterm, and decided that it was an excellent time for a break to write about something else. Given that my entire weekend has consisted of writing nothing but history essays, there isn’t much else on my mind. So I’ll just list a few of my most recent rants.
1. People who go 50 miles an hour in the left lane on the highway.
What is your problem? Do you not notice the stream of cars passing you in the right lane? It’s always a huge pain when you are on your way somewhere (and you are running late, as I so frequently am) and the left lane is stuck up by some idiot going 50 miles an hour, and the rest of the travelling traffic is bogged down in the right lane trying to get by. When I am old and about to lose my driver’s license anyways, I am going to find someone doing that, and just take them off the road. I’m not talking about a little bump on the fender, I am talking about that huge body check, in terms of hockey anyways. You’ve got some jerk on the other team that you just want to nail, so you come in from the side, put your shoulder or elbow right in his jaw, blindside-closeline him and watch him fly through the air and crash to the ice. That’s the kind of take-out I am talking about.
2. Bank tellers who talk on the phone while they are making your transaction.
Uhh…. Hello? You have customers that need to get in and out of the bank with as little trouble as possible. The other day, I went into the bank to cash my $13.50 paycheck and this teller, who was talking on the phone, incorrectly entered my account number *4* times. At first, I figure, “eh what the heck, she’s helping two customers at once, give her a break.” Well, after I had been sitting there for 7 mins while she ‘made my transaction’, She finally says something to the person on her phone… guess what: It’s her hair dresser. That third commandment of a Wanocksett staff member is coming to mind right now. Customer service for $500 please.
3. People who glue their envelopes shut.
What the hell!? It’s not fun when you are on a roll opening up 100 envelopes that were in response to a mass mailing, and you get to the one THAT’S GLUED SHUT. Apparently the lick and stick just wasn’t enough for this guy. I get to this envelope and my productivity train is completely derailed because I can’t get the envelope open! Hell, this train isn’t just derailed, it’s crashed into a titanium reinforced armored wall at 125 m.p.h.
Glue? On an Envelope? Please…. I shall once again close this rant with the never tiring *word* of Napolean Dynamite: “Gosh“

Somehow I have found time to write this post in between a few of the 30 “major discussion point” “short, but complete answer” essay questions on my History midterm. Time to put off filling out my application to Trinity again.
Well, since the last posting, I’ve managed to successfully complete my application to Bates College, so I’m going to be doing the normal ‘waiting a month to see the outcome of one of the biggest decisions of your life’ routine. Needless to say, I’m nervous as all hell and I’ve been compulsively making pasta and taking pictures in my free time between the death trap I like to call ‘Mount Wachusett Community College’ and that little thing called Boy Scouts. I think I am going to try doing some stuff like sleeping between recording all the Lodge registrations and finishing 30 essay questions for an evil midterm.
Oh, and I thought this was kinda cool: http://www.monaddesign.com/music.htm
