I'm Semi-Evil
Not really. I just had a pretty shitty start to the week, so now I'm going to tell you all about it in a pathetic attempt to garner sympathy. The psychotic lady in my TAFE class got kicked out on Tuesday, and it was partly my fault. Because I had a huge argument with her, which led to her threatening physical violence and then... aahh fuck it, I'll jot it down in point form. (NB - Psycho Lady will now be referred to as PL)
- PL was ranting about the church, and that anyone who believes in God is a pedophile. Again.
- I told her to shut her mouth, because my dad is a lapsed Catholic who still believes in God, but hates churches. I mean, he's Irish. All we Irish believe in is alcohol, religion, and self-effacing jokes.
- PL directly insinuated that my father likes to sleep with little boys.
- Random Classmates tell her to back off or she's gonna be in a whole mess of trouble. Teacher reinforces this idea.
- Five minutes later PL says that people can't be gay or bisexual, because it goes against nature.
- I take offense. It's common knowedge that I have had relations with members of both sexes, and that one of the other classmembers is gay. I decided to be a smartass and open my mouth with "I hope you realise that's a biblical concept your sharing. Does that make you a pedophile?" Snickers and smirks from much of the class.
- PL turns to me and says, "Yeah, well you're the one with the churchy dad, and you're also a fuckin queer. I wouldn't leave anyone's kids with you for five seconds. I'd fuckin' kill you first."
SIDEBAR: WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! Gentle readers, I remind you that this woman has a documented police record involving solicitation, prostitution, public drug use, and possession with intent and means to distribute. (Laymans terms: Hooker, junkie, dealer) But me, having an Irish Catholic father (who is fucking awesome) and having had romantic relations with both men and women, makes me a threat to society?
- I tell teacher (of whom I am fond. She's great, but youngish, and I don't think she was adequately prepared for having a person like PL in the class) that I'm going to get some air, because if I don't there's gonna be violence. She lets me go, and Ms Hilarious tags along.
- When I return to class, I find that PL has been temporarily ejected. The teacher and several classmates have made a formal complaint about her outbursts. Head of faculty would like to see me and attempt mediation. Being a good kind of person, I say yes. Mediation, where possible, is grand. But it's not always successful.
-First thing PL says in mediation is the thing about pedophiles. And head of faculty is married to an associate pastor. So she is highly unimpressed. In the space of fifteen minutes, PL manages to insult gays, bisexuals, transgenders, Christians, anyone who's ever been to church, Asians, Aboriginals and the Salvos.
(OFF TOPIC - Everyone loves the Salvos!!!)
- I grow agitated, and ask if head of faculty feels this is going well. She says no, and sends PL home for the remainder of the day. Head of faculty asks me to fill out grievance paperwork, as an official record of the goings on. I do. It is witnessed by teacher and Ms Hilarious.
- Next day, PL is summoned to some panel. Turns out she was only permitted to attend the class under certain provisos, including continuing to take her bipolar medication. Which she hasn't refilled since January. Teacher informs class that over twenty separate incident reports involving PL have been filed since start of semester (July-ish) by various class members and faculty members. She has been removed from class.
So whilst this burden of constant abuse will now subside, it doesn't change the fact that I am still extremely pissed.
*exhales*
Better.
So, other than all that fucking trauma, I had to go and get my eyes re-tested, because I've been getting some random headaches. My eyesight's getting a decent bit worse. DAMMIT! I only need my glasses for reading/computers/small printy type things... and they are quite sexy, but it's pretty random, that in three years, my prescription's gone from a 0.75 to a 3.25. That's HUGE.
I may post again rather quickly.
