The Nerd's Eye View

Cattiness alert: I am getting up to the minute material from the Byrninator on a developing situation at her local Borders:

So, I'm at borders, trying to do some work...and there is a couple right next to me evidently on their first date. And the woman is telling the dude, and I quote, "I am no one's cougar/teacher fantasy." Um...correction...you're not ANYONE's fantasy, Ms. My-hair-looks like a cupie doll. Fucking A.,

And:

the woman is a teacher ... she then tells the dude that now that we are operating under a system of integrated special ed, she has to tailor all of her lesson plans accordingly, "so that means if i have ten special ed kids in my class, i have to modify my lesson plan ten different ways"

[H]ere come sthe part that pissed me off, "so we just pass them, because if we don't, then the parents can come back and ask to see our lesson plans, and i'm not redoing my lesson plans that many times"

I am not a big fan of other peoples' misery, but it's hard to look away from some train wrecks.
