NEW "What is bothering you right now?" Thread. Bonus: Now with 20% more bother!

This was me today. I do not feel confident about the latest Circuits exam.

 

Ja, I done f'd up on me circuits exam. It was not difficult at all. I just have a hard time studying for two exams only a day apart. I wish the linear algebra instructor would not assign so much stuff for credit.

 

A bit annoyed that I got a bigger tax return this year than last.

That said, student loan interest deductions are being kept this year and next, so yay!

 

You're annoyed you got more money back from the tax gods?

 

Getting a tax refund of $X essentially means that you gave the federal and state governments an interest-free loan of $X. It’s an opportunity loss for the person receiving the refund: they could have earned interest with that $X sitting in a savings account, invested that $X in stock, etc.

 

Did very badly on my last engineering exam...like 'may not pass the class' bad.

That and I'm beginning to miss Grandpa Wingnuts. I know he's not dead cause the babymetal subreddit would be in mourning. I may have to call and harass him into visiting.

 

Why did the exam throw you such a loop?

I went to the BM subreddit and chose a thread with a lot of comments, and lo and behold there was a HWingnut post. Has a cake next to his sig so I wished him a happy b-day. I've discussed his leaving with a few others here and I must say we think it's weak, but certainly his choice. Sure we gave him a hard time with his obsession with BM, but that's what decent friends should be able to do. Silly go get all butt hurt about it.

 

Thanks to my niece, I now have had this song stuck in my head for days.

 

The real crime is not the song, but the suggestion to put tomatoes in the guac. While you can but anything in it you want, tomatoes release moisture and make it yucky. A creamy constancy with some chunks it what I look for.
