i have no idea how to tell my friend that he is a terrible singer and has only gotten worse since he started taking voice lessons. i'm pretty sure he's completely tone deaf, because he will sit there with a keyboard, trying to hit notes on it, and miss by 3 full steps. and then ask me if he got it right. it's absolutely awful to listen to and he has these aspirations of starting a band and it's just. not gonna happen.

like this?

Thanks eugene, the voice of reason as ever

the room my current class is in is a large-ish room, and there are probably 75 people in the class. so the prof insists on using a mic so she can be heard, but she has no idea how to set it up, so it feeds back CONSTANTLY. "a blend of polytheism WEEEEEEEEEEEEE sorry. a blend of, um, polytheism and animisWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE um animism" also she says um all the fucking time.

Ive noticed that i end most of my statements with "right?" or "ok?" I really need to get out of that habit.

yeah man my sympathies as well. ive never been fired before, but I have left one job thinking that I was going to be fired (i later found out I was a great salesman, but my immediate supervisor didn't like me for whatever reason).

was it because of office politics? If so, you can at least console yourself with the fact that you did a good job and you got fucked over in spite of it by some shallow assholes.

One of my grad school profs is incapable of writing a clear syllabus and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing for class. Of course, she is also the one who never answers her e-mail.

have you emailed other students? some of them may have experienced this prof's style already and could help you out.

I'm having a retarded conversation about cups for some reason

I will, but it seems like at least a couple of other people are confused as well.

It's ok. You can forgive me for caring that my coffee machine is fucking weird (apparently 156.5 ml is a "cup") and I can forgive you for not understanding what I was saying.

Conversation complete. We can be internet pals now. =)

None of the YouTube links in threads here work on my phone. Fucking what the fuck.

"fucking what the fuck" is one of the most beautiful sentences i've ever read (not a first world problem)

My afternoon coffee went cold very quickly. I tried to pretend it was just iced coffee but the psychological barrier is insurmountable.
