And that's the thanks I gotOn getting screwed over by people for whom you were doing a favour:
I spent several weeks helping my best friend - a complete layabout - with his A-Level computer science project so he wouldn't fail his course. In the end, he did so little work I actually ended up doing the whole thing for him in a half-term week I should really have spent revising for my own exams.
I got back to college to find that while I was hunched over a red-hot BBC Micro, he had spent the week screwing my girlfriend.
Then he didn't bother sitting the exam because "I'm going to fail anyway".
And that's the thanks I got. How have you been screwed over whilst doing someone a favour?

I am very, very angryFor the last three and a half years I have been working in an environment that makes pushing jelly up a wall while wearing oiled mittens look easy. Challenging policies while having to talk to scary, scary academics who make it clear that everyone else is a worthless irritation, especially if you're a girl. Without any clear directions from Them On High, I've done as much as I can do to sort out the problems that exist, in a myriad of creative ways and what do I get in return?
The suggestion that I am being negative because I have dared point out that it is a losing fucking battle. The suggestion that, perhaps, I am talking myself out of a job. The suggestion that, just maybe, I should carry on coming up with ideas that no-one wants to hear and writing documents that no fucker reads. The suggestion that we should have a meeting to discuss the meeting we had the other day where I finally cracked and pointed this shit out.
Anybody got a job going? I have all manner of transferable skills, not least the ability to bang my head against brick walls for three and a half years before giving up.
