Stupid stupid stupid.
I consider it a major accomplishment that I'm still managing an A in my computer class despite my teacher being an undeservedly, irritatingly smug moron. Last week I had to redownload all the files for one of the Access projects from the textbook publisher's web site because the ones on the school server somehow ended up truncated. When the lady who sits next to me started asking him why the results of the queries didn't match the book, I made the mistake of trying to be helpful and mentioned that I had had the same problem, because there seemed to be something wrong with the files on the school server, but the ones from the textbook site come up A-OK. And he told me I must have downloaded them from the school server wrong. Despite much of the class apparently having the same problem, I had downloaded them wrong. How do you even DO that!? I've noticed the aforementioned classmate doesn't even come to class anymore unless there's a quiz she absolutely has to be there for. He's so irritating she just does all her classwork at home. At least I can rest assured I'll never have to deal with him in another class. I don't think they even let him teach the second-level Office class.
(Why do I mention this tonight? While I usually consider PMS to be a misogynist myth, tonight he seemed even more irritating than usual, and I too decided I'd be better doing my work at home where I didn't have the constant background noise of his smarmy comments to other students and out-loud musings about how bad the students who left early must be doing. Maybe they just can't concentrate when you're whining about your LASIK side effects every two seconds.)
