Ticks Me Off Tuesday

So before the emails again come flooding in let me set the record straight.  I know I have been not keeping up on the blog, but I have been reading the blogs on my blogger roll.  Maybe not commenting, but I read them.

So I will start off the TMOT with an easy mark, my mother.  Or as I like to call her, Mommy Dearest. 

She called the other night, I heard the theme from Psycho, her ringtone BTW and for some masochistic reason or another picked up the phone.  She promptly began dispensing advice on this that and another thing.  This being Little Dude's inability to STFU or sit still. Ever.  She was like, " tell him is quiet time, and read a book."  Can you all say she has spent no time with this child?  I have threatened duct taping his arse a chair.  I got nothing.  He is just A Boy.  My mother has zero parenting skills unless you count beating the living crap out of the kid till she submits because she cannot move.  Funny bow as a grandmother THAT never came up in her sagely words of parental wisdom.  That is also why she is not allowed to be alone with my child.  Ever.  For as big of a pain as he can be he will not be getting the tar kicked out of him for punishment or fun.  I'm a yeller, not a hitter.  I yell loud.  Nuf' said.  Then she decides to hit up fer favorite, my lest favorite subject of more children.  I am all for my friends having more kids, they can have at it, me, umm nope.  I would dig it out and throw it away if they would let me.  There is the sob story that my sister will likely have to get a hysterectomy because of some medical condition.  Blah, blah, likley not even true.  I gave you your first born legitimate grandchild, get off my back.  This one about killed me, so I guess you and LD have at least one thing in common...His was unintentional tho.  And I love him...

 So to make it even more uncomfortable, she then begins to discuss birth control with me, yep you read that right.  She who had two babies with two different men, but finally married the second for a couple months, talking to me about BC.  OMG,OMG OMFG!  It then goes into her talking in great detail of her menstrual cycles.  Who the hell is this person, these are not convros I have with my mother.  Ever.  Having my mother discus parenting, child rearing and birth control can best be summed up in one of my tweets last week after it happened:  Having her discus those things with me is like the devil describing how he gets into heaven.  Really.  I need to just hit ignore on the phone. 
*I am up to my flipping eyeballs in schoolwork.Sadly something has to give, I tried it being my sanity, but that was so far gone, it's just non-existent right now.   Don't think I am just being a slacker on here, I am also helping out running a Collective Soul fan site which I am hardly updating as soon as the new tour dates come out not.Honestly, can I just get one of the guys who blesses his darling presence on this site with the password and log in and have him do it as they come out.  I won't tell Donna, honestly, just till classes are over.  Pretty please?  No?  Damn it, well then the site will be lagging for another month where I work on it. Also the FB page associated with the site, and another page to get the band looked at by SNL to play.  Have I been working on them, not so much.  I'll admit it, the rest of the crew knows I am busy as heck, and understand or are bitching about my being a slacker behind my back...completely.  Great girls the whole lot of'em. Come summer girls unless I fail A&P 2 I will be pulling my share a bit better. 

So back to the blog, since that's why ya'll are here.  Gimmie a bit of time like 30 days to get my classes done, and done right shat together.

My Pharmacology prof decided in March that all future papers need to be formatted professionally in APA.  Umm, I was already done with the class when this little nugget was released.  Which led to a scathing email from her saying that I must not have spent enough time on the class to get it done in a month and a half so it may have been in response to an email I sent in calling her out on it being unfair that she changed everything almost mid semester.  Um, es-sku-zz-e me?  I spent every waking moment doing your class, lady, till 3 AM most some nights so lay the hell off.  Oh, and I got your class AND Disease Conditions done in a month and a half.  Eat that!   Oh and a side note, I'm getting an A in that class.  With very similar papers to the ones you say are so hastily put together, you don't get how I spent time on them.  At LEAST a week per.  Now I have to redo two more papers OR take a B or a C.  AYFKM?   I really don't have time to do this crap again.  I was told that since it was not in the syllabus, I can protest the grade.  By damn I will too.  

 Then there is medical typing I started it after I got the 1st two classes done.  So March 1-2 I started it.  I have to retype a 386 page book, sometimes 3 times in places that's like about 1000 pages for those not so hot in mathematics.  Sweet baby Jesus help me!  If I don't have it yet carpal tunnel is right around the corner most days I want to cut my fingers off.  Trust me slamming them in a door has crossed my mind more than once.  I am amazingly on page 327 of said 386 pages, somehow.  Little Dude is all pissy because I am constantly in front of the computer doing this class.  "Mom what about your farm?"  I know honey, I'd rather me playing farmville too.  The weatherman for a bit complained that I took a bit of time every couple hours to play that on FB.  I went a day without doing anything but classes.  He quickly encouraged the respite as I was so stressed I bit his head off flat out refused sex because I was so mentally drained from all the books and information being thrown at my brain.

I need mindless games to break it all up, or I will be making shanks out of soap and trying to slit my wrists P.S. we have liquid soaps...I'm just sayin!

So I can't really complain about Disease Conditions and Disorders.  The instructor didn't even read my papers just smacked an A+ on them.  Yep, just like the good ol'days/ how it should be.  Her tests were time, so I was breathing thru a paper bag on them, I always got them done and work well under pressure.  But the ticking down is enough to drive me mad.  I happily did them all closed book and no notes thank you very freaking much.

On to my nemesis of classes: Anatomy and Physiology 2, AKA the class from hell.  So, I somehow managed a C(-) in the class over the summer.  I learned three things from that class: 
1. never take classes in the summer to get ahead.  Summer school is for stupid people who cannot get shat done during the real school terms. 
2. Don't take summer school as you have less time to do a complete class that during a regular semester you would have twice the time.  It's punishment, for you, and your family. 
3. A&P 1 sucked over the summer because the book and the tests don't quite line up,

instructor knows and doesn't care.  Damn him. Same book and instructor for A&P2.  Awesome pass me the soap. Dear weatherman tried to calam me the other night as I was looking for something to start the textbook on fire, "Just be happy it took 30 years to challenge your mind."  Challenge, oh no darling weatherman, this is mental rape.  I'm not kidding.  I guess on half the questions, those would be the ones I get wrong BTW...It doesn't challenge me, it makes me feel stupid.  Then I get pissed and go all Cesar red zone and want to break something.

So All my Med Typing is due the of this month 30th, A&P2 on May 6th.  I will try to get in a blog or two before then.  If anyone wants to guest blog, my email is on the side or leave a comment and I'll get it sooner or later.  I'm not picky, you have seen my writing.

Oh and still nothing from OKC, and it really blows!

  I hope we hear something this week, or I will badger suggest to the weatherman to put out for another of the jobs that are out right now.  I can't say what that one is yet.

  I don't want to curse OKC.

And to add to the fun, I get to visit my inlaws in a couple weeks.  Anyone want to shove bamboo shoots up my fingernails, now would be the time. 

I will be black blogging soon.

So in closing my Ticks Me Off Tuesday list: 

1. Mommy Dearest is still a delusional so and so.
2. Semester from hell.
3. Ignoring my family, shirking parental attention to offspring, and dog.
4. Weatherman at the time of this post still has heard nothing from OKC.  Damnit.
5. I posted a blog so get off my back for at least another week.  I know I am slacking, but I will spam your Google readers again as soon #2 is done.  That's funny I said #2

So, your turn to post your gripe(s) below. It's time to let it all hang out here, I'm WAY cheaper than a shrink.
