The Vent Thread

I don't normally eat beans. But when I do, they are peanuts. Stay thirsty my friends.

Ok, since everybody is complaining about their departments at college, I'd like to vent about mine a little.

The accounting department is WEIRD. Not that we're strange, but that we're NORMAL. O_o We are all very level headed people who do our homework, do very similar on examinations and our stupid population has dropped or changed departments. The few that remain that are the "troublemakers" are less than 5% of the population. I love my classmates and have a lot of great comradeship. We all suffer under the blight of GAAP and IRS regulations, and all help each other out. There's never a day that goes by when you can't see a group of us somewhere on campus doing homework.

Now... We share a building with the economics, marketing and finance majors. These people irritate the living shit out of me. I'm speaking in majorities here, and I'm sure not all of them act this way, but it's just an observation.

Econ majors: "Ha ha! We are the smart ones! We know all there is to know about the economy!" [Superiority complex, big egos]
Marketing Majors: "Ha ha! We're the artsy ones! We have fun classes and fun work, and easy classes, but we still love to bitch!" [Stupidity complex, in need of reality check in the job hunt]
Finance Majors: "HA ha! We're the rich ones! We'll be the ones to work in multi-million dollar brokers and make the big bucks!" [Over-confident complex, in need of actually looking at what brokers in this area makes]

And we all get the same comments targeted at us.

"Boring stodgey accountants overworking themselves for a dead end job and will end up suiciding!'
"HA HA. You're not going to have a job when they get a flat tax rate!"
"Computers do your job! LOSERS"
"CPA Exam! Bwhahahahahaha"
"You're in accounting? WRYYYYYYYY?"

We never get ANY respect in our department. We're a minority, so it's hard to really fight back or anything. I swear, if I hear one more joke from an econ or marketing professor, I'm going to blow chunks all over their overpriced iPads. >:/

I only have ONE more class in a different department as a requirement for graduation, and I'm THRILLED about this.

I also have had LOUSY service with our hotel here tonight. We found a snake in our room and they couldn't find it and just LEFT the room and refuse to give us another one. We've called the corporate office and are waiting for a call back about getting our money back or another room.

Code, if it makes you feel any better, all the Engineering, Math, and Hard Science department folks universally think "LOL Business Degree - yea, I could get that in my free time."
I say this coming from a CompSci department that holds a shitlist of courses in other departments that we were not able to take as even free electives because they would demean the degree.

OH GEEBUZ. I would be screaming no RAGING.

Dude you got a SNAKE! That is SO awesome especially if it's not a venomous kind. You should have to pay extra for that.

You should probably cut its head off. You never know whose soul might be lurking in it..

Pulled one of my spark plug wires apart trying to change a spark plug last night...
New ones should arrive from the parts warehouse in about 30 minutes...

My bodies been so fucking sore these past few days. I think I overdid it on the treadmill a few days ago at the gym. At first it only affected my legs and I was limping but that went away, now the pain has moved to my chest and its a workout just getting up to do something.
