Gonna preface this with: this is a lot of complaining but I just needed to vent it and let it go.

I'm four months pregnant with twins and have been having a fun time trying to sleep at night (pregnancy insomnia, woo!) on top of my usual sleep issues plus the regular symptoms/conditions associated with pregnancy. Last night was a particularly fun night to try to sleep as my neighbors decided they were gonna form a rock band around 1a. Cool.

This morning I woke up to frantic calls/texts from my office mate notifying me that my office has, once again, flooded. January 2018 my first office space had a pipe burst and destroyed my entire office space so I moved to a completely different building. Last night another pipe burst a few doors down from my new office but enough damage was done that I needed to move again. Fine, ok. Getting that squared was decently easy in hindsight.

Today in lecture I realized just how little patience I have left to deal with things. I have two students that consistently text each other/talk in class and for the most part it's never really bothered me. I don't have a no-tech policy and I'm fairly relaxed on that kinda stuff. However, today it was blatantly obvious they were texting about me (look at the phone, look at me, smirk/laugh, look at each other, look at phone, repeat) for a good 10 minutes. After a while it got incredibly distracting so I just called them out on it and asked if there was something on my face/could help them with something. They, thankfully, knocked it off and paid attention through the rest of class.

I feel bad for putting them on the spot but ffs at least try to be sneaky or better yet -- just talk shit after class.

Urg, thanks for letting me rant r/GradSchool and hope your Tuesdays are going better.
