Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
That's... that's really frustrating. I hate the situations where you get punished for going the extra mile. Still, making a direct confrontation is probably more stress than its worth. If he's going to snark at you for admitting you're having time constraint issues, he's probably going to pour it on even harder if you tell him that bothered you.
Without seeing the actual response, I'm not too sure what to suggest, but if you really feel he was out of line (it definitely sounds like it), you might consider registering a formal complaint with the department.
...Then again, my favorite English professor once drove a girl to tears, and when she complained about it, he put the formal complaint on his door like a trophy. Does this guy have tenure, do you know?
edit: Oh wait, tutor. Reading comprehension, activate. Yeah, definitely register a formal complaint.Last edited by PhoeKun; 2009-11-30 at 05:40 PM.

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
Why are you cold? I guess it is the weather. The windchill could be responsible. As for keeping your hands warm, I recommend gloves.
As for the tutor, I think you should tell your tutor or a higher authority, preferably the higher authority, about said tutor's lack of professionalism. This behavior should be an indicator of his lack of effective performance and the three standards of professionals: be polite, be efficient, have a plan tokill everyone you meethandle potentially stressful situations.Last edited by Assassin89; 2009-11-30 at 05:47 PM.

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
I think I'll just email him telling him I took offence to some of what he said and it's general tone. Not as confrontational as telling him in person.
And the reason I was so offended by it is that he's normally such a lovely person; and then to be suddenly snapped at for going the extra mile was upsetting.
@everyone else: I won't take it any further than that, I wasn't really planning to (Phoe: he definitely has tenure. He's a fellow of the college) as it really is out of character for him.
Probably baby troubles. He's just come back from paternity leave.
Very much 'whut'?
@Destro: it is! Our Bops play it every time we get into the last half hour of the party.
Ironically, our final song for the last two has been DOn't Stop Me Now.

A real good time
I feel ali-i-i-ive
And the world
Turning inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy so
Don't stop me now
Don't stop me now
'Cause I'm having a good time
Having a good time
I'm a shooting star
[sth] through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car
Passing by like lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go go, there's no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I'm having a good time, I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
I don't wanna stop at all yeah

Ah. Well, that seems like it makes sense. I hope the situation resolves itself peacefully and to your satisfaction. And then also that your last everythings go smoothly, and the time between here and vacations is filled with fun.
And... maybe a pony?

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
I have two musical obsessions: Queen and glam rock. Queen is glam rock (occasionally), so what best to love other than Queen?
And Bohemian Rhapsody is a frankly amazing song, and really good for warming up too.
*goes to listen to again*
It should do. I've really got not much else to do, and my only sticky point is starting my accursed essay.
Nobody likes introductions.
No ponies!
Horses and ponies freak me out! Hate them I do! Evil, insane things with those huge buggy eyes and irritating neighs.
A cat on the other hand . . .
Now for an awkwardly timed shower! I love nighttime showers, noone else queues up for them so you can take age and use all the hot water.

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
Due to my love of David Bowie, who also is glam rock (occasionally), I would argue for collaborations of Queen and Bowie.
However, as to not place you under pressure for doing so, I will emphasize, that is just me.

The guy who served with my granddad and refused to wash until they got together and forcefully threw him into a bath.
My uncle knew the opposite guy, who it turned out did clean himself but not his single set of clothes and so spent months at a time wearing this filthy T-Shirt and Trousers.

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
On discovering you replied at all, I knew exactly the contents of your post before reading it. Hm.
At least your uncle didn't recall him not changing his pants. That would cause pedantic confusion.

Re: Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134
David Bowie and Queen? I wonder what that would sound like? Pretty awesome I bet.
Oh, I love my Bowie too, he's under Glam Rock under Music under Youtube. My Youtube -> Music folder is ridiculously organised.
Reina-san, it is my utmost duty as a cat lover to pick you up and snuggle you.
*snuggles the Reina-chan kitten*
D'aaaaawwww. Psst, less of the '-san's please.'
Mmmm, thanks to my lovely shampoos and whatnot my hair now smells of coconuts, lemons, limes and the sea.
It actually does smell good enough to eat.
@Jibbers and Cobra: Really? Eeeew. How can you (and everyone else) stand the smell?

And for one, we follow him around, not so subtlely spraying air freshener, until he gets the hint or we lose patience and lock him in the bathroom.
The other guy doesn't...smell, per se. It's more...he has an aura of grease and ick. Getting within 5 feet of him makes you feel, just...unclean. >.<
Thankfully, I don't have to be around him anymore. ^_^Cobra Avatar by the lovely Miss Nobody.

I'm home! And I have cake.
Also, from reading through the last page or so it seems I learned most of the words of Don't Stop Me Now at some point. I attribute this to karaoke."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."
