People who act like that are, IMO, among the most annoying in the world. One person at the Student Financial Aid center at my university had this same attitude (albeit, not to the same degree as your ball of sunshine). Seriously, if you hate your job that much, then quit. If you want to be all-around pissy and miserable, then do it on your own time. On a side note: [QUOTE=ThirdCultureKid] Holy FUCKING Christ, bitch, how about attempting decent FUCKING human interaction, you diseased cunt! [/quote] That is the best opening line I’ve seen in a while. 😃 ---

Thank you very much for making me feel better about my crappy-ass community college. It might not be the most glamorous school to go to, but every single person there so far has been polite and even sweet while I’ve asked my bewildered old-person-going-back-to-school nonsensical questions and rushed around to get things done at the last minute. ---

[QUOTE=SmartAleq] Whereas I have no intrinsic problem with your rant as a whole, I just have to point out that this gave me a cognitive-dissonance headache. Carry on! \*bolding mine. [/QUOTE] But, you see, you have arrived at the very heart of her problem. As **ThirdCultureKid** so eloquently described in the OP, she was bending every effort to attempting to achieve a “non-friendly tone of voice.” That she failed despite her best efforts would be enough to piss anyone off! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=ThirdCultureKid] I bet you’re just dying inside, surrounded by all these smart kids while you were rejected by your local community college [/QUOTE] Her attitude sucks, but putting up with this attitude from students all day might not be putting her in a sparkling mood. It reminds me of a lot of the student drinkers in the pub I worked in while studying for my doctorate. They all knew for a fact how much smarter they were than me, the lowly bartender. ---

I’m sorry, **ThirdCultureKid**. I work at a college, and, yes, I do deal with some students who are entitled dickweeds, but most of our students are very pleasant folks. I stay at this job _because_ I like working with students. It’s a shame that some of my co-workers don’t feel the same. (Financial aid office, I’m looking at you. Quit being jerks to _my_ students!)
