Okay, I know I'm quiet in class, but this is ridiculous. I sit in the front row of desks in my maths class. My teacher stands right next to my desk when he lectures, which is for about half of the class. I also answered some of the questions that he asked. Five minutes until the bell rings, I'm working on my homework and he comes up to my desk and asks me if I was in class the whole time. Apparently, he counted me absent. I am now invisible. What worse, this isn't the first time it's happened to me. For some reason, I find it really funny.
That should teach you to sit in the back of the class. Or, announce your name everytime you ask or answer a a question, like a reporter.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Yeah, the flag can say 'be there or be rhombus!' -- it may give a math geek a laugh.

What about CERN? Upping the hadron collider's energy, or something else?

Keep dreaming! Noone in their right mind would give you access to a super collider.  ;D

I very rarely get mad, but I'm pissed as all hell right now. I've been trying to get ahold of someone all day, they haven't responded to calls or texts, so finally when I texted and asked 'are you OK? I'm kinda worried. Haven't heard from you all day...' the response was 'I'm OK. Party after work. Lots of beer!' I asked if they were driving home. They said yes. I asked if they were drunk. They said yes. I told them not to drive, to grab a motel for the night (it's an hour's drive home), they said no, they were driving anyhow. This person's normally sensible, has children waiting for them at home, and was supposed to discuss a few important issues with me today, but it got blown off, and now they're driving home drunk. Fan-fucking-tastic. I hope a cop pulls them over. Seriously. That's one ticket they deserve.

Thanks. In the end, my friend decided to be slightly more sensible, and stayed at their office until the alcohol wore off somewhat, several hours later. They got home at about 1 am, sigh, and had to get back up at 6 for work. I can only hope the ensuing hangover causes them to think 'well, that was dumb of me, lets not do that again!' Still... yeah, I was prettymuch worried all night. Especially since 1 am their time was 4 am my time, ugh. That's just how I am. Until I know my friends and loved ones are safe, I constantly think about it, can't sleep, etc. They don't call me 'mom' for nothing.  :P

I'm glad your friend decided not to risk it.  Haha about being "mom"; I'm the same way.  Last time I forgot my husband was going to be home late because of parent teacher conferences I was seriously ready to start calling all of the hospitals.  LOL
