Could be worse. You could be a UML fan.

Tech went 18-17-5 during the 2006-07 season.

Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
by all measures, you are a friend of mine.
But- that's like saying that Red Sox fans deserved more than Cubs fans, since they were "closer" a few times in the almost century that they didn't win.
Quite the contrary, to me- Cubs fans get a lot more feeling from me, since they don't complain 1% of Red Sox fans do, and their losing streak is longer, and always has been. Even the reaction to the foul ball has been a minor fraction to Billy Buckner (I can say it, since I don't like the sox).
Much like here- Tech fans have been losers a lot longer than Lowell.
the only thin UML has going for it is that before Tech started to suck...., well, badly.... they won a couple of national championships. So even if you go by the measure of sucess, Tech has it over UML, since they've been to the promise land. It's just been a while. A LONG while.

Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
If I were the teacher, I would consider doing the same thing, except that I'd make the liberals represent the conservative viewpoint and vice versa. It ALWAYS helps to try seeing things from someone else's point of view...Restructuring the way that 11th grade American Government (or "Civics" for some of you public schoolers) courses are taught might help. I remember my class was segregated into "conservative" and "liberal" via a brief issues quiz administered on the very first day of class. The teacher would determine a mean cutoff, so that the moderate 50% wound up either as a Republican or a Democrat for the mock congress sessions.

No, I was more saying tech fans have the dull ache of a long standing pain. UML has the stab of knowing it was close. Both suck.

I was just saying that UML is currently the worst team in the country. And I fully expect them to lose out the rest of this season.

I don't know how any team could be worse than Tech is right now. That team I watched on Saturday couldn't beat an average D3 team.

Yeah, thats probably true. Eden Prairie would make Tech look silly.

It grinds my gears that I can fall asleep in my easy chair, the shower, work, etc, but can't sleep in my own bed.
Possibly.

Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
So sleep in your easy chair. If you sleep in the shower you'll wake up all wrinkly and maybe with a bump on your head. When I had my shoulder surgery I slept in an easy chair for a couple of weeks - could not lay flat or on either side.

Young sales folk and older self possessed "I think I have a lot of charm' guys grind my gears. Went to Best Buy to P/U lil's phone which had been sent out. Girl #1 asked me if I needed help and we told her why we were there. She went to get the keys and this pompous looking GQ wanna be (a little too plump, with the quaffed hair, 'right jeans', 'right jacket' with a booming, jolly voice) says something about how she sold him the phone. Girl #2 was helping him. He then proceded to square out against Girl #2, effectively blocking her and engaging Girl #1 who is supposed to be helping me.
The girl just forgets she was helping us. Girl #2 turns, sees me with my mouth hanging and asks if anyone is helping me. I say rather loudly,"well, I thought so but, apparently not." She wades between the 2 of them, the guy does not want to disengage but she persists and he turns back to her. Girl #1 belatedly recalls that she was supposed to be helping us. She starts the process of reloading all the stuff back on the phone when GQ boy strolls back over, apparently cannot see me and engages again asking for something. She stops doing stuff for us and goes and fetches what he wants. I was steamed. I said to Lil something to the effect that it might be nice to be so important that one can't wait and a comment that this is 2ce she has ignored us. She hears, hands him the stuff and starts work on Lil's phone again. He continued with a barage of chatty questions. Not once did she tell him to wait. It was like we were invisible. I was pizzed. COuld see if she was good looking or charming but she had the personality of a cold fish and was not a stunner. She didn't seem to be interested in him, just no clue how to focus on someone who wasn't rude and demanding her attention.
THen went to the itouch section and couldn't find a soul to help us. 3 different people weren't from that section and called for someone to help. The guy came, another guy caught him right before he got to us and poof he was gone. I felt like I was in Harry Potter and had an invisibility cloak. Usually I love BB but if that was my first experience I would never go back.

Being put into a situation where it's physically impossible to succeed, and then being asked why I couldn't get the job done by the same person who put me there in the first place. If I said what I wanted to say at that moment, not only would I not have a job, I'd probably get sued.
