First day out of training on the phones, my break gets changed to 11 mins after I started work. My lunch fell off the schedule and I'm on the phones for 5 hours and 54 minutes without a break.

Um. Thanks federal government for making me mail a notarized letter that says for real my financial aid is for school. What is this I can't even.
Fraud is rampant. That is, fraud committed by the schools is rampant.

@Ganymede I hadn't really thought about it that way. Makes some sense then.

It's not schools alone. Along with students who get their financial aid payout and never show up in class (which has been 5% of my class enrollment some semesters), I have students who show up only on the first day so as not to be dropped and for the midterm and final even though those two things only account for 40% of the course grade. Fortunately, our registrar is fine with my marking that those students failed for nonattendance, which means that unless they prove there were extenuating circumstances they have to pay back their aid.
I did all of the bowls (that were in the public areas of the house) last night! LAST NIGHT! So why the fuck are all the goddamned bowls dirty again? How in the fuck do two people go through ten fucking bowls? What the fuck are they doing?

Get a toddler. I used to think that my wife and I dirtied too dishes. Now with my daughter we pretty much use almost all the spoons up in my house just in one night.
I wish that the administration of the school that I worked for was like yours. I remember when I taught European History before graduate school, I gave Fs to about three seniors that failed to turn in anything or show any type of effort. Had the principal knocking on my classroom door freaking out over it and demanding that I change them to incompletes. That was kind of a wake up call for me.

Wow. Were they worried about the F-students fucking up their accreditation or something? Gez.

I lived in a house with three children, all under the age of 5. That house was kept in better condition. Yes, children use dishes more but the dishes were done on a daily basis than more than one just one (normally my boyfriend, but I do them as well but not as much -- though I think since I'm not in school right now it's at the point where my boyfriend and I both do the dishes each day, and yet some how they are never clean).

You need to fucking move, bitch. I fucking hate people that don't do their fucking dishes. In college, I lived in a house where everyone had their designated night to do the dishes, and, if they forgot, we barged into their room in the middle of the night and punched them until they got up and did them.
I'm not kidding. Have that happen once, and you won't forget. Apply that here.

@Ganymede That is not possible here.
Current Whine: I want to feel pretty. I mean not pretty, but I am feeling down and I wish I was the type of hot where people were like "I want to do things to you sir".
Tinder is a self esteem bitchslap. I feel ugly.

@tragedyjones You know better than to get into Internet slapfights. 
State of Texas be whack with standards, yo.
That is a bit uncharitable. Texas has some good things. Fields of bluebonnets. Great Tex-Mex. And Shiner Bock.

Good museums, parks, and food in Fort Worth. Hell, if it were possible to put Fort Worth in a decent state (like maybe New Mexico), I'd find a way to move back.
Standards in Texas are continuing to decline, however. Broken clocks there now are only right once a day.
I dropped a pill down the drain and I'm not sure if it was my antidepressant or my heartburn medicine...
Kinda hoping it was the second one. x_x
