It's 5 AM
I have a headache and feel like I am going to puke!
God, I love my job. When am I ever going to get sleep?
::EDIT::
I have figured out why the phrase "students of color" annoys me so much. Do I not have a color? Or am I suddenly literally, scientifically, white? Also, what about people who are white but culturally different, like South Africans or second/third generation American emigrants (which do exist)? Do they not get to be supported by the campus multicultural committee because they reflect light?
White people: Too fucking shiny. I'm sick of people looking at me, seeing a WASP, and assuming I know nothing about racism thanks to my sheltered upper-middle-class upbringing.
This has been a weird semester for "campus diversity", and I blame guilty white liberals. (Oh, see that irony there? XD)

Your job makes me angry. They shouldn't ask students to work those kinds of shifts--there's no reason they can't employ non-student staff to work in the middle of the night. RAWR! And yeah, I get pissy about that campus diversity stuff, too. Plus, "people of color" sounds so pre-Civil Rights Movement.
I hear ya!
