Well, I'd like to think if I don't become a teacher it's because I suddenly made some money off writing or acting or something.

In my case I was already in my 6th year of school and decided I didn't want to dip into the 7th year in order to complete student teaching. By then I'd done enough computer and design work that I was indifferent about getting certified to teach, so it didn't really matter.

I might go back someday and get a masters in Instructional Technology, but I don't think I'll ever actually teach.

Maybe it was supposed to be like one of those "is your refrigerator running?" jokes, but you didn't say the right thing for her to get to use the punch line.

I hate...

1. When I tell an agent to go to my company's website and give them the address and instead they enter the address in a search engine.

2. When an agent is having trouble downloading something off our website and I have them change their internet settings and they still can't download and I take another 20 minutes trying to figure out why only to find out they never changed the internet settings like I told them to.

3. Our QA department blaming all agent software issues on their internet settings, even when they have trouble with something that doesn't connect to the internet and then making you feel guilty for not checking the settings before calling them even though that in no way should be the problem.

4. Having to call each new agent to have them download this program we have that is embarrassingly shitty and have them rant about what a piece of crap it is, only to find out that the marketing people don't end up training them on it because they want to pretend it doesn't exist.

5. You know, other stuff.

i would just like to commend the guy at barnes and noble tonight that noticed that the spine of the dvd i was buying was all fucked up before he rang it up, allowing me to get a new, non-fucked-up-spine dvd. that man is a credit to his profession.

on a related note, it is OUTRAGEOUS what barnes and noble charges for dvd's, even including the 10% member discount.

This isn't really negative but its a customer story
A guy came up to be served and this is basically how it went:
"oh Steephaniiiiiiiiiie".
"Yep, thats me!"
"It's like, whats that movie called? NUMBER FIVE IS ALIVE!"
Luckily i know this film, and said
'oh yes. I haven't seen that movie maybe since i WAS five".
"Stephaniiieeeeeeeeee!"
*nervous laughter from me*
-end of transaction-
"Bye Stephaniiiiiiiiiie!"

I never really posted on this thread before. As easy as I have it at my job I do have some pet peeves...

When I call a patients name in the lobby someone will answer and start walking back with me that is not the patient I was calling. Most of the time their name sounds nothing like the name I called.

When I call a patients name in the lobby they will stand up and walk over to me, after I've introuduced myself and asked them my questions I'll motion for them to follow me and I'll start walking back towards the exam room and they will start walking in a different direction, like I don't know where I'm going or something. I usually say "Follow me, I know where I'm going" stupid fucks.

Giving patients instructions on changing itno gowns is always fun when they don't understand a word of english.

Some patients all they have to do is take off their bra. That's it. I will explain this to them and they will come out wearing nothing but one gown, completely naked underneath, ass hanging out and everything.

And when they actually DO have to change and they don't speak english well, oh man you never know what you'll get when they come out of the room. All they ever have to take off is anything with metal in the area we're scanning. So for women it's usually their bra and pants, they can leave everything else on and yes by everything else I mean shirt, underwear, shoes and socks you dumb fucks. I give the patients two gowns, one open in the front, the second one on the oppositte way so there are no openings and they are completely covered up. I have broken these instructions down to the very basics, I don't know how else to explain this stuff to people...

I've seen a patient come out naked wearing one gown open in the front and the second tied aroud their waist like a belt.

Some patients get completely naked wearing both gowns the same way.

Some patients follow me into the dressing room when I've clearly asked them to hold the door open for me.

Some patients just insist on taking evrything off even though I've clearly stated they do not have too.

Some patients start to undress in the hallway.

Some patients stare at the back of my head instead of reading a magazine. That really bugs me to the point where I'll look over my shoulder at them like what teh fuck dude?
