"Alright," said Rosa, who was already sighing when she came into the classroom, pretty much on the spot, so that she could just go in, get class over with, and then hopefulyl be done with it, so if any of the students weren't already there...they weren't going to miss much. This class was such a throw-away that sometimes even Rosa felt a little bad at how pointless it was. "Time to get back to it."

She clocked the projector like it was a jukebox, turning it on, and then looking to see what popped up:

I need a vacation.
I'm running out of things to complain about at home.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, considering it and how to BS something into a lecture out of it. Really, if anything, this class was becoming just a way for her to fine tune her bullshit.

"Okay," she decided, turning to the class. "Two things on this one. One is that it shows an incredible lack of creativity to run out of things to complain about. There's always something to complain about. The key to being a bad ass about it is knowing which things to complain about are worth your time, and also making sure that your complaints are firm, unwavering, and succinct. Get to the damn point. You're complaining, not telling a story. People will stop listening past a certain point, so make it concise. In fact, I bet half of you have already stopped listening to this right now.

"Second? Okay, I know we just got back from vacation, but that first part about needed one is a mood."

And she'd stayed extra, even! She hadn't even been back yet for more than twenty-four hours.

"So, today, we work on complaining. And how to do it in a way to be heard and taken seriously instead of just ignored and considered annoying. Feel free to complain about whatever you want, and I'll tell you how you're wrong or whether it's valid. Bonus points if you complain about the vacation, unless your complaint is that it's 'too short,' in which case I hope you die in a terrible, fiery car crash some day."

Always so lovely, that Rosa.

"Okay, who's up first?"

Nina rolled her eyes at both of them.

Normally she wouldn't but, like, with this particular teacher and this particular class, well.

It did sort of fit, didn't it?

"Well," she said loftily, "I'm sure your boyfriend appreciated your work ethic…………."

She was still not counting that as real work though. Like. Seriously.

"Yeah," said Rosa, after a moment, "I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can say to that that would be appropriate for a classroom setting. You do seem a little fixated on the whole boyfriend part, though, Punctuation."

Of course she was.

"I mean, like, no one really works with their significant other," she said, all big, innocent eyes.

"False," said Rosa. "Two of my best friends are married to each other and they're in the same precinct. They work together all the time."

She paused.

"It's disgusting."

But she loved them anyway.

"Well, I guess," Nina said, despite the fact that—oh yeah, her own legal parents worked together, was determined to… oh! No!

"But, like, only one of you was actually working on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a totally different scenario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Was she moving the goal posts? She was totally moving the goal posts.

Yeah, Rosa knew a goal post mover when she saw one. She was, at times, one herself.

"But you agree," she noted dryly, "that one of us was actually working."

"I mean, like, I can't confirm that you were working," Nina noted. "Since I wasn't actually there?????????????????????"
