How does he do it????

Okay, so there's this guy in my class at school. He's been in every single class I've taken for over a year. He never hands his papers in on time, he's late for class every single week if he comes at all, and his contributions to class discussions consist of parroting back what the prof just said.

How the heck does this guy keep getting through the program????? It's not like he has this super busy life... all his kids are grown and he doesn't have a job. So, why can't he get his work done??? If I can get my work in on time with a hubby and four kids, plus a job, I don't see why he can't with an empty house. It bugs the crap out of me.

The other thing that bugs the crap out of me is that he is The Thing That Wouldn't Shut Up. He goes on and on and on, and never manages to say anything substantial. We've actually had to stay up to a half hour later because he wouldn't put a frickin' sock in it. Once I got so pissed off listening to him ramble that I got up and went to the bathroom to wait it out. I stayed in there for 15 minutes, and when I got back HE WAS STILL TALKING. What's worse, he wasn't saying anything different than when I left. He ended up dropping the last class halfway through because he couldn't keep up with the work (but he never can, so what's the diff?), and it was so nice and QUIET. We could actually have real discussions that went somewhere.

There's this other guy who is really a nice young man, but he goofs off during the entire class. He brings his laptop and plays games, IM's his friends, and checks his emails. How can he be learning anything, I ask you??? This particular class moves a bit faster than some of the others we've taken, so how can he afford not to pay attention??? I just don't get it.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying. You're telling me that I should worry about myself and leave everyone else alone. Well, I just cannot do that. It's not in my nature. I am compelled to comment on the stupidity and absurdity I see in the world around me. And yes, I do realize that somewhere in the world some other bitch is probably blogging the same kind of smack about me. KARMA. But I'll take my chances.

You kill me, Woman! Have you been residing in what little grey matter I have in the thing I carry around on top of my cervical spine? Literally! I mean – the words in your blog – so that means those that are in YOUR head and now floating somewhere in cyberspace - are the quintessence of MY very thoughts… How do you do it?

Did you realize that, many moons ago, blondes shared one awesome, giant-sized brain? True. Its power was unrivaled by the puny brunette brain and the vapid redhead brain. When the blondes decided to travel to Earth, the rays of the sun were magnified by the translucence of their gorgeous hair, and the giant brain started to sizzle. To keep its awesome, terrifying power relatively safe, the Blondes divided the giant brain among themselves. True. And that, my friend, is why all blondes share the same amazing thought waves. Totally true.
