eFollett is one of the most awful companies around. They exist for the sole purpose to rob poor college students by charging inflated prices for textbooks. At the end of the semester, they either don’t buy them back for real market value or say they have no value. Protip: buy and sell on amazon.com. eFollett will not get another penny from me and I haven’t been to that crook bookstore in two years.
So I’m buying my books for next semester and I can tell you right now, I want to bash my history professor’s skull in and I haven’t even met the man yet. Rather than assigning normal textbooks, I look on the booklist and see the following:
First of all, give me an ISBN, a real title (not the course title) and a real author. It’s doubtful these two books have the same title. The info above tells me nothing. Now I have no choice but to buy these two books from the bookstore because it doesn’t give me enough info to shop elsewhere. I absolutely hate when professors write their own books for the class. I hate it even more when it’s sent to Kinko’s and consists of spiral bound printer paper that they make the bookstore sell for $50. Morons.
I am posting this from the WpToGo Android app. I could have just logged in with the browser, but this is cooler. I love this Droid so much. It seemlessly integrates with Google and the screen is amazing. As you may have noticed, I have been going to town on Blackberries lately. They suck ass – enjoy your shitty rollerball and outages. I will cut the iPhone people some slack though (even though they can’t multitask and run two apps at once). Muhahahaha.
A few months ago, I got an LG ENV3. Good simple non smartphone, nice keyboard works well etc. You know what’s stupid? LG decided to put a voice command function on the clear button. This is dumb as shit. When I press the clear button, it should exit out of all menus and then go to the main screen. When on the main screen, it should just stay there and do nothing. The point of clear is to get out of everything. Instead, when you press clear, it goes to the voice command menu, one of the most useless features ever. I can access whatever I want by browsing to it. I don’t need to go voice commanding my phone. Anyway. when you push clear, this obnoxious voice screams out “PLEASE SAY A COMMAND” followed by a loud beep. This happens even if the phone is on vibrate or silent. So stupid.
I have always had this problem, but never got a chance to write about it, but am going to now since I just got the best text message from Waspito: “fucking CLEAR button should CLEAR. not yell at me to say commands. esp when my phone’s on SILENT during class. fucking ***t”
I am looking into a Droid
