Chronic lack of time and a bunch of things to do. And all those people with loads of free time on their hands and nothing to do, who still expect me to organize my schedule according to theirs.

Oh, and now that I'm already posting here, I want to use this opportunity to send out a friendly message to all the people out there who are attending a congress/symposium/conference somewhere around the world right now:
Dear doctors/radiologists/engineers/diplomats/whoever, we don't mind having you in our city - actually, we are very proud that we have established ourselves as a top-destination for the conference tourism, and we loooooove the money you're bringing. You are welcome. Really. We love you! We would just appreciate it very much if you had a tiiiiiny little bit more respect for the people living here. (Oh, yes, I know that sounds shocking and that you probably failed to noticed it - but yes, there actually ARE people living and working here - this city does NOT consist only of a conference centre and a few fancy hotels that your companies/insitutions/organizations are paying for...) Please, learn to read those nice red signs on the escalators that say "keep to the right" - clogging all the subway exits does NOT make us locals happy. You'll have enough time to stand side by side and chat while drinking your coffe, you don't have to do it on the escalators. And a propos coffee - there are soooo many places for you to get your coffee in the morning, you don't have to push by hundreds into this one tiny 3x3 coffee-to-go shop and make miles long queues that make us late for work. I don't have the time to wait for hours just to grab some food on my way to the office - and you're getting your coffee for free at the conference anyway. Please, take off those pretty backpacks and notebook cases with logos of your conferences while in the streetcar or on the train - I'm sick of them bumping against my forehead/shoulders/back every time you turn around. Start behaving as human beings and start treating US as human beings, and we'll love you even more. Thank you very much for your attention.

/A veeeeery polite and friendly rant over. Who says that anger management classes don't work...

Stupid tween bitches ruined my nana nap on the bus this afternoon by playing their music out loud. Some Miley Cyrus crap I think. I responded in true adult fashion by turning on my phone and belting out some Mastodon (it was only me and them on the bus). Their evil glares were reward enough.

Tell them you also feed on their hatred.

I prefer to call it prowling, Bubs.

Not sure that it is a good move for a forum admin to admit to 'prowling' the miley cyrus forum. In fact, there might be legal action involved.

[Cougar]

Well, that was the joke Obdi.

What a bunch of asshats. And I had to look up the word 'greebo', so these snooty bitches wasted more of my time trying to understand their stupid slang.

I over-brewed my tea.

Damn it.

Throw it on some Tweens and order them to get you some new tea?

[Darkwatch]

I'd have to find some tweens.
Unlike Cougar I don't hang around highschools like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused fantasizing.

It'd be a lot cooler if you did.



In other news, I hate my business management course. I don't understand most of the stuff.

"Determine the payback period for a capital investment that costs $40,000 and has the following after-tax profits (the project outlay of $40,000 would be depreciated on a straight line basis for seven years to a zero salvage value):"


Wha....?

Depreciation: For tax purposes, anything that depreciates has an end salvage value of zero. Straight line basis probably means that a specific percentage (20% in the U.S. tax code) is allowed to be deducted every year; the percentage comes from the current adjusted basis for that year. Looks like you've got something that is the seven year class - look up the tables if you've got them.

I have no idea what a payback period is though.

[KalamMekhar]

you just divide 40k by 7 years, and that is the amount the investment is depreciated each year till zero, if it had a salvage value, you subtract from the initial investment first then divide it by 7 to get the per year depreciation.

[KalamMekhar]

if you posted more of the problem we might be able to help you out more el rodeo!

[Centzon Totochtin]

or you could read your textbook/course material? *is helpful*

[RodeoRanch]

I refuse to think about it. I will complain until it's due then hurriedly finish it and complain some more.


Business is stupid.
