The Anti-Fun

Yay - went and got myself a new handphone this afternoon and amazingly enough, managed to get something pretty decent for S$38, only to my horror it comes with a little joystick and is so incredibly glitchy that even the simple stuff, like deleting a message, requires me to put both hands on the phone.

It's such a little thing and here I am blinking and peering at the screen like a dinosaur trying to type out "Have a new phone" to my husband and I need to press the left menu button whilst simultaneously twiddling the little joystick left right up down. Drives me batshit. Surely there's a simpler model without a camera, internet access, 6 games and a joystick? I just want a telephone for goodness sake.

Anyway, I'm marking the assignment papers now from that course I'm tutoring and it's put me in an incredibly bad mood. Reading some of the answers makes me want to put a screwdriver through my hand - it's ... a little depressing because the people who prepared these answers are actually going to be pupils in law firms in about 4 months' time. It's like looking into the brain of someone who is going to be an executive secretary in a coupla months and she doesn't know which side of the paper faces up when photocopying. hhhhhhhheergggh
