venting

im writing this now because i have 15 minutes to use on this computer, and im using every second of it. and im beyond pissed off at the moment.

the computers and printers at school suck. thats all there is too it. they are too slow, usually dont have internet, and the printers cant make dotted lines. this is a problem when im trying to teach writing the alphabet to 4-year-olds. for kinder classes, i need a worksheet every day. ive been making them at internet cafes but its been lots of work since the free sites offered to help teachers are usually not compatable with whatever these computers over here are using.

today, im waiting on khaosan to have dinner with steph while she waits for her friend to get back from cambodia. so i came into an internet cafe that advertised it also had printing. i asked the lady when i came in which computer to use for internet AND printing, and she said any. so i sat down and started making worksheet after worksheet. i found a great site and got done all of them for summer school.

when i went to print, a notification came up saying that something was off on the printer, so i asked her to fix it. thats when she says to me "o...no print."

are you $%^*!@# kidding me?! im sitting on khaosan road making worksheets that i cant print, or save to my thumbdrive. im pissed. so i just wasted my time and money on this place. which is why im writing this now, to use up the last minutes i do have. ill be damned if i leave any more extra time to be wasted by someone else.

occasionally, i cant stand this country.
