Hey, be there or B²!

Since this thread is still open, I'll point out another example of what is NOT Pitworthy--college students whining. Well, that, and whining in general.

Most of the posters in that thread, including the OP, are faculty, not students. I'm sure that makes not a whit of difference to you, but it does make you look like a an old fogey with a head of steam for whippersnappers, and there are none.

I'll have to get up at 7 am to get to class on time Tuesday and Thursday. Then I'll have my usual fall job corn sorting starting at 6 am on the weekends. Have a Thursday night class that goes to 9:30 PM.

I'm not a morning person.

I'm debating between driving a metal spike through my head or going to my calc two class, I got a boring teacher. It's his first time teaching Calc II, I'm sure he knows what he's talking about but... ugh, today was my first day of that class and the one and a half hours felt like 6 years. He doesn't even ask the class to participate he just drones. On. Endlessly. Maybe he's just getting his bearings.

So it isn't like it's a free easy ride, even if you consider homework easy*. They have to work to pay that back.



*big if, English Composition about killed me. >.<

Anyway, back to whining. Tonight is my first night class of the year.

I was up until 3:30 last night attempting to hit a deadline on a project at work. No time for a nap today, so I'm off to class on 3 hours of sleep. Yawn. At least this time I'm taking the class, not teaching it. No big deal if I drift off a little in the back row. I hope the prof doesn't take it personally, though.

That's enough whine for a Papal mass.

Out of 55 posts, you found four, and two of them are by the same person?

They weren't even on your lawn, old dude!

It's not the number of posts, or posters, or their age. It's the whining. Doesn't belong in the Pit.

If you won't move Mini-Rants to MPSIMS, will you at least edit the title?

"August Whiners Club" is about right.

Would you shut the fuck up about this already? You've been on this kick for years. Many people like the mini-rants thread in the pit. I think MMP is silly, but I don't try to get it shut down.


Something else:

I think moving the vegetarian thread to GD was a bad idea. Much of the debate was about who was a bigger asshole, and now we can't talk about that since it's in GD. As I said on the last page:

I come here for the debates. They are generally better than in GD. Please don't remove the best debates from here. I think people's assumptions are really challenged here. Often people post rants and really don't expect it when post #2 disagrees with their entire premise (They don't agree that my Sow-Worker is a jerky-jerk? Really? Maybe I'm the jerky-jerk? Well, I never!). I like this aspect of the Pit.

Some of the best debates are rude.
