the "things you wish you could say" thread

You're going to fail a $800 course for lack of a $30 textbook? Really?

For the fourth time, I put a copy of the textbook on 2-hour reserve at the library. They have this magical device known as a scanner. Walk next door, borrow the book, and illegally scan the entire thing so you can do your assignments.

Two times a week I go grocery shopping. Often cold cuts are on my grocery list. When I visit that section, I notice that almost all ham is noted as being UNCURED! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? NO MORE TRICHANOSIS OR WHAT? TURKEY is not to be trusted for long if improperly rewrapped and chicken, sheesh, is for the birds! This is not just a bunch of baloney. I am calling for an investigation of meat packing, kinda.

It's now every f*cking week with this $hit. You literally put the "turd" into Saturdays.

Uncured just means they use salt or celery powder rather than nitrates or nitrites to preserve it.

^ Unrelated to any of the above...and to no-one here.

You need to take the entitled chip on your shoulder, carve something beautiful and generous with it, and give it away.

That's the only transformative modality I can see that will redeem this deep sense of pain you keep carrying with you, and lighten your path to--well, to the light.

Thinking objectively, although a great deal of media currently suggests otherwise, the Great State of Oregon is surely not, in its entirety, a GOD forsaken land.

Really dude of [not German] descent? You just mansplained to me how to pronounce my very German last name? Thanks. I'll be sure to tell all my relatives about that.

Instead of saying that, I just nodded and smiled, and said, "Hmmm... interesting." and went about things as normal.

Already said it on another thread, now awaiting the inevitable backlash.  They can have the last word on that thread if they want it so badly.  I've said what I had to say, and stand by it.

[unrelated to previous posts on this thread]. This. This, this, this. This is why our students exhibit entitlement during the program. This is why they think that the rules/deadlines/faculty decisions are just suggestions. Because whenever there is a complaint, administration capitulates.   And this, this impacts all of us.  Making this change without discussing the options with the faculty is a dangerous precedent.

Every interaction with you leaves me feeling happy. I'm so glad we hired you. You make our department a better place.

That's a wonderful thing to be able to say about anybody!

I really wish I could say "Wow! I have the winning Powerball ticket!"  (Dream on, dream on, dream until your dreams come true...)

I wish I could say to my friend, "No chance it's a cancerous lump. You'll be fine."

Not likely, as it now appears.

I'd like to tell the dentist down the road to shove their $40,000 quote up their ASS for SO's teeth. Maybe I should?
