"Soooooo happy that I'm on holidays again!!!! Sooooo tired and just neeeed a break!"

Translation - I am a school teacher and it has been a whopping 10 weeks since I was last on holidays. My world is so much more difficult than everybody else's. Everybody else's jobs are a walk in the park.

Also despite getting way more holidays than any other profession on earth I would like to be paid alot more.
 
Until you've spent a day in a classroom, you won't know how much you need 2 weeks off after every ten-12 weeks. I jest you not. I used to think the same, until I tried it out.

All for performance appraisal, but it must be tempered somehow by the demographic of the kids being taught. Kids in affluent areas rock up for prep being able to read novels, while in other areas they've never seen a book. No shit. If you reward teachers purely on a state wide average, you'll get no good teachers in shit areas, where they're needed the most.

Alt trans - I'm not a teacher, just an attention seeking, entitlement mentality ****wit who can't go two weeks without a holiday that spends every day between holidays posting about how badly I need one and every day on holiday posting about how I am on one...
 
I have a fairly solid bunch of people on facebook who don't embarrass themselves except for one girl who used to be with one of my good mates. She recently broke up from another fella, nothing nasty, he just didn't want do be with her anymore. Her next six statuses were "Goodbye everyone" followed by a bunch of "you ok honeys?" or "be strong". Then "Thinking of moving to America next month". Then "Goodbye". Then "funny feeling in my stomach, hoping not...". Then "Goodbye". Then "Moving to Bali!!!".

She got a few solid cooks from her mates about this utter shite.
 
Given I don't have any dumb units on my Facebook feed (because I get rid of them rather than complain about them), my rant is reserved for the Anti-Anti-Facebook crowd.

We get it. You don't have an account. I remember that because you told me last week as well. So rather than sign up for a service where you can share the daily goings-on of your life via a single medium, you repeatedly advertise your opposition to it via every other medium available to you. It would actually be a lot less effort for you if you signed up for an account and post each week, "I don't want this account!"

But let's pretend for a moment that you do have an account. You're concerned that you have too many morons on your feed and you get so outraged and angry and it upsets you at how ignorant the rest of society is based on the small sample size that is your Friends list. "It's easy!" I say. "You can either hide or unsubscribe from their posts, or remove them altogether!" The response to this will take one of two paths.

First, there's the Passive-Aggressive Path. "They're my cousin/best mate's missus/work colleague/whatever. It will be awkward if I see them!" Oh okay, so you can't stand their opinion and never want to hear it, but heaven forbid they think you don't like them! Sack up and do it. In the unlikely event they take their head out of their backside for long enough to notice and confront you, tell them why. What's the worst that could happen? Someone you don't like doesn't like you?

But that's not as bad as the Validation Path. "Oh I keep them there for the laughs!" No, you do not. You just finished telling me how angry and frustrated those posts make you, but all of a sudden they're funny? I know the real reason. You keep them there to make you feel better about yourself. "At least I'm not as bad as them!" No, you're even worse. Your daily revelling in the perceived misfortunes of others makes you even more narcissistic and self-indulgent than the attention seekers. If the only joy you get in your day is from the misguided belief that you are "better" than some others then maybe it's time you had a decent look at yourself.


So other than all that, I have very few problems with Facebook.

The hardcore facebook activists were distracted by more important things such as Gangnam style.

"At the cinemas and I really need to go to the bathroom but I don't want to miss the movie, it's really good!"

Decoded: "I am an idiot who doesn't realise that by posting this on Facebook, I am actually missing the movie anyway. I am also a jerk who uses their phone at the movies".

The initial post has 10+ likes, if I knew her better I would have called her out on it.

The ones you don't know well are the best ones to call out.

Reminds me of vegans. How do you know if someone doesn't have facebook? Don't worry, they'll let you know.
