Ringtones on EnV

And the chocolate and countless other phones I’m sure – some phones however, you’ll have to convert to wma like my old samsung as they won’t allow mp3s to be used as ringtones.

Anyhoo,  my son has done nothing but bitch about the lack of tones on his EnV. I refuse to allow him access to ‘get it now’ (‘cause I don’t trust him), and I refuse to buy a data cable. If the darn things were universal I wouldn’t mind, but a different one for each phone we own – nah, I don’t think so.

Away, a little bit of research and 10 minutes later, I find it’s pretty darn easy as long as you have the memory card for the phone

Grab your favorite song and open it in Audacity . Cut it to around 127K (about 30 40 seconds) and transfer it to your memory card in the ‘my sounds’ folder. Slap the card back in your phone and go to:

get-it-now –> music and tones –> my sound –> scroll down to the sound you just put in –> press send, and send it to your own number.

Once you receive it you can save it as a ring tone.

Cool huh?

Pick a title

Yep, that’s what it says on my contract, there’s no stroke after teacher saying network engineer/pc technician, it just says teacher – that’s what I get paid to be.

pc woesIt’s not that I don’t care that you can’t sign on to the new online attendance website, trust me, I feel for you, I think it’s atrocious that these problems weren’t ironed out before school started, but it’s not my friggin problem.

I will not spend another lunch hour trying to get computers connected.

I will not drop everything to see what’s the matter with the pc in the teachers room if you can’t notice a simple thing as the absence of a power light on the monitor – PLUG IT IN!

Yes I know you get a message every time you turn on the pc “error – conflicting ip addresses on the network” but I didn’t set the network up, the school employs a company for that, and I am not going to check all 40 pc’s in the building.

I didn’t mind helping out, I didn’t mind trying to get your laptop onto the wireless network – but don’t you think it’s a little cheeky to dump a laptop on my desk, STILL IN THE BOX in which it was delivered to you house?

It’s unfortunate your mom has a virus on her machine – but JHC, you rush into my classroom while I’m teaching to tell me this, then take up 15 minutes of my time grilling me as to what I think she should do?

Teachers spend a lot of their time bitching about how their students don’t read instructions – wouldn’t it be nice if you all followed your own advice and RTFM, then after you’ve done that, check out the geek squad website and see how much they charge for the shit that I’ve been doing for free the last two weeks – the next time you walk into my room, come in with a blank cheque.

And he wonders why I get pissed

So the 5 full days we were forced to sign C up for school turns out not to be 5 full days but 4 1/2 – Every Wednesday is a half day, even for pre K .

I took the opportunity to go to the mall this morning after dropping him off, I needed to visit the verizon store.

Hubby gets a call from the school at 12:10 asking why no one was there to pick up C.

Now what would you do in this situation? Riiiight, you’d get your ass out of bed, get dressed and drive the 1/2 mile up the road to pick up your son asap.

Nooooo, hubby calls me on the cell, school called, told you it was half day on a Wednesday you said it was full day, neither of us were there, they have him in the office.

Shit says I, major fuck up – “what do you want to do” says he. Well shit hon, if I had just got the phone call, I’d be half way to the school by now, you apparently aren’t thinking correctly and prefer to gloat in the fact you were right about Wednesdays and I was wrong.

Couldn’t be bothered to point out how asinine his question was, or how ridiculous it was that he was on the phone to me as opposed to being on his way to the school. I left the mall and drove the 5 miles (translates to 10 when driving on Staten Island due to traffic) to pick up my son.
