my awesome day.

Today I witnessed an incident I found to be incredibly stupid near a small airport (for small 2 person aircraft), which being an aiport had a strong search light aimed upwords and circled around in a consistent pattern as a landmark in the night for aircraft. Near to it was a small machine with four high-powered lights which aimed their beams skyward and gyrated in a seemingly random fashion. This was far more prominent to me than the single light of the airport. It seemed like a malicious attempt by someone trying to mislead small aircraft pilots from the airport. I would not be surprised if they had blue christmas lights strung out across the roof to imititate those found on the runways.

Those who believe themselves to speak in absolute truths and deem themselves infallible tend to fall first and most frequently. I know one person who says everything, no matter how mundane (which is more often than not the case), as if it were profound, worthy of a 9 on the Richter scale. Sure, they may possess an inkling of intelligence, but don't wave it and annoy everyone with your molehill.

Work was incredibly long, though it was only half an hour longer than it was supposed to be. But since my work period lasts for only 2 and a half hours, 20% is a lot. But I spent the first hour correcting and recording as usual. But then my instructor had scheduled 6 new students. So I had to attend to that for practically the rest of the session. Giving them tests, explaining to them what they have to do, keep on reminding them to write the starting time. Marking it and so on. Then during that time I also had to mark the homework of students whose parents are unwilling to mark it. This seems to be the case among parents of new students (and even not so new ones) Some of them go so far as to mark the work, and by mark I mean assume that their child is brilliant and that the ability to make mistakes was eradicated from their bloodline. So they decide to mark all their work as correct, which makes it even worse for us assistants, as we have to assume that everything is unmarked, which negates the work done by the parents who actually correct correctly.

I think it is an unwritten rule in turn-based RPGs that if an enemy is at a hit point well within a reasonable amount of damage you are able to deal, you will always deal 1 less than that. And after that, they will never miss, instead dealing damage on the higher end of their abilities. But missing is the most viable option.
