Application forms you are asked to complete that are filled with silly mistakes.
Filled in one on Thursday that asked for two referees should they need to contact them yet omitted the space to write in the first, plus lines where you wrote in the detail either didn’t match up with the questions or there were too many.
Another tonight gave one box to fill in your complete education history which only accepted one date.
All of this and yet if I make one spelling mistake i’ll be marked down and have whoever is reading it tutting and thinking i’m not at all suitable for the position.

Reminds me of when I go to see the doctor and have to fill out that form. Inevitably, the cell phone comes out.

I give them my mobile and then get on with life. The damn thing must have some purpose.
However I was told on Friday at the end of my intereview “we’ll call you by the end of the day” (or words to that effect). Still not heard back. Will no doubt get a letter in 3 weeks saying “thanks but 
“.
I’m not fussed by it tho, if its meant to be the right job then it will be. I’ve done what I can do.

Offline Yeah one of the calls was a serial offender in the same sense, I’m not holding my breath. As to the other, I had an accident in a supermarket on Friday and the manager said he’d call on the weekend to see how I was and surprisingly, he didn’t, which is disappointing because the staff had been so good. And a third party who were so keen to have me stay with them haven’t said boo in two weeks so I”m giving up on them too.

Pet Peeve No 2:
The girl who I had for French class 2 weeks ago, told me that she probably wouldn’t make it to last week’s class because her mock exams were starting. “That’s fine” I said, “just text me if you’re coming or not”. She never did. Now I don’t know if she’s coming this evening, so I CAME HOME from my Granddad’s house to be here just in case- why the hell does no ever text/call me when they aren’t going to show up? I won’t take offense- if anything it makes me dislike you as a person because you’re not trustworthy or considerate and I won’t give you extra help for free if you need it because you’re clearly a person who only thinks of me as some machine who doesn’t’ have a life of their own. I don’t need your money, I make enough from acting and other little odd jobs so to you.
If she comes to my house next week I won’t be there so ha to her, she should have texted me!
That and if she ends up never coming back to my classes- she’s going to fail French because her French is terrible >.> So she won’t end up getting into a university because of it
Serves you right, inconsiderate person 
This is the second person of that calibre that I’ve met in my teaching career, what is wrong with people that they don’t think to notify someone if they won’t show up? I spend about 4 hours doing sheets for my classes each week and they just flip me off whenever they feel like it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr >.>

The Highway Code as it is the bane of my existence when learning to drive.I have to abide at all times by its silly, stupid, idiotic, pointless rules and laws which are just a nuisance whilst most other drivers totally ignore them.
Additionally the number of drivers who should be rounded up and squished to pop is ridiculous. Every time i go out I come across at least 4 drivers who do something dangerous on the road, for example overtaking when approaching a bend/roundabout, pulling out when a car is oncoming or sitting counting their body hairs or whatever other banal pastime when they are meant to go. The light is green you numpty – DRIVE!! Don’t sit there making me wonder what i’m meant to do.
I’m double posting- forgiveness please!
Ah yes the people overtaking on corners, geniuses in the making- I say.
My pain is the crappy county council (look at that for alliteration lads!) in the town that I’m driving in. The “white stop line” at junctions, is always about a metre behind the entrance to the road, that’s all fine and dandy
EXCEPT
that there are either walls or hedges on the side of the road so I can’t bloody see if there are cars coming or not- so I have to go over the white line which my driving instructor doesn’t like, it doesn’t help that I’m in a massive estate car that makes it difficult enough to see as it is >.>
There are also junctions where “STOP” is spray-painted on road and the sign on the side of the street says “YIELD”- what do you want from me?!?!!?!
Also the fact that my entire test area is built on roundabouts- I think the entire town is one giant roundabout >.> Now I have no problems with roundabout, it’s just why are there about 20 roundabouts in a small town- makes no sense. Also there is a ‘magic roundabout’ where you’re meant to take the outside lane when on a regular roundabout you would take the inside lane- and of course 80% of drivers passing through there don’t recognise it, so they go in the wrong lane and you’re likely not to get smashed when you come off the roundabout.
Uhhh!

Offline I was out on Tuesday at a junction where my instructor said “on you go” just before two idiot drivers came flying thru the red light. Thankfully I hadn’t moved. Aside from that its just more people pulling out when not looking, letting dogs run onto the road, overtaking at bends when i’m going slightly under the speed limit (apologies for not racing around the town risking life and limb)… There is great joy in catching them up at the next set of traffic lights.

When my computer updates. One second it says

And 10 seconds later, it randomly says

Ouch. I know some people who religiously rip all of their (large) classical collections to iTunes and then tell me I don’t need CDs.
I keep warning them that things like this might happen one day.

Offline My hatred of iTunes was the key to breaking free of the Apple curse and I’ve never looked back. I’m looking seriously at getting a decent turntable and buying LP’s again because there’s so much stuff that never made it to CD, and I can have the best of both worlds, listening through a usb interface and ripping them.
