What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

SMILE/FROWN: Because of assemblies, field trips, and other activities I only have about 45 minutes of actual work today... but I'm still stuck here for 7 hours.

Okay drop that number to zero minutes. None of my students showed up today. This is just weird...

Well I'm actually not a classroom teacher. Or a teacher at all for that matter (except at summer school, where I teach math). I'm a bit of an "intervention specialist" you could say, I work with very small groups of students who have behavioral and/or emotional problems and need to be removed from traditional classroom settings. It can be quite challenging, but I seem to have a good rapport with all my kids this year so things are going smoothly. I also administer standardized testing to determine who qualifies for special ed and other services. It can get a bit tedious at times (starting on Monday I'm doing nothing but standardized testing for two weeks).

Anyway, I don't get to go on field trips, which is why I'm basically stuck here with no kids. I was supposed to work with three this morning until 8:50 but no one showed (frequent absences are common among the population I work with).

Now I'm wishing I had brought my other laptop so I could get my university schoolwork done. Oh well.

Congratulations, you bought a box with a permission slip inside. Seriously, f*** Diablo 3. It should be equal parts single-player and multi-player, so why aren't we allowed to play single player on our own? We *need* to be connected to the server at all times. Too many people on the server? Too bad, you can't even play it on your own. Blizzard was even crafty enough to stop modders/hackers from making a fan-made offline patch; most of the AI is stored serverside. Yes, even for single-player. The game has an update that you don't want? Too bad. Too many players on the server? Too bad. Poor/limited internet connection? Too bad. This isn't buying a game; this is buying permission to play a game. I don't care how many pictures of the disc you show me, this has all the negative aspects of a downloadable game and *then* some.

yeah but i will get a cool artbook, bluray, and diablo 2 usb bust.

guess that will have to do since I am sure I'll have no fun whatsoever with the game.
