Carmongeddon 2.5: What the Shit this is still a THING?!
I'm going to start using names now, because christ, it's not like any of my staffmates know I have this blog! So here's a key if you're planning on reading through all the previous Carmongeddon posts:
- Sarah= My co-Editor, Carmongeddon herself!
- Natalie/Tanny= Our staff adviser
- Maddi and Christina= other members of the staff who Sarah really does not like/treat with kindness
Back when Carmongeddon 2: Electric Boogaloo was coming to its close, Sarah had to leave to get an intense knee surgery. When she returned, she was a lot nicer to people. I think that having to rely a lot on the kindness of others made her realize that she has to treat others with kindness herself. However, as she's healed physically, her mean streak has started to return to her. For the last week and a half or so, she's been verbally abusing Maddi. She does it in a "joking" manner so nobody can really do anything about it, but it's hurtful because we know that she actually means what she says because she does not like Maddi one bit. She'll say things like "Shut up, Maddi!" or "Maddi, I thought we banned you from talking!" or "Why am I still hearing your voice?" Which, although said in a joking manner, still hurt Maddi's feelings. So there's been tension building up between the two of them.
The past several days, Sarah has been using a specific computer to work with all the data from the senior superlatives and senior surveys for our senior issue. She won't let ANYBODY touch them, which has been causing some more tension because we are definitely crunched for time. All of the information is on a Google Doc, by the way, so it can be opened literally anywhere. So, Christina was using that particular computer to proofread some of the written responses from our classmates because we really need to be on the ball with that sort of thing, yet Sarah refused to share the document with anybody so Christina couldn't do it on another computer since that one was logged in to Sarah's account. Sarah was mad that Christina was using "her" computer and threw a wee hissy fit at being asked to suck it up and use a different computer, and kept making passive-aggressive remarks to Christina about it. Then, Maddi came into the room to work on the layout for her portion of the senior issue. No computers were free, so Sarah gave up hers because she "couldn't get anything done on that one anyway" and left with her signature exasperated huff. When Maddi asked her if she could use the senior surveys so that she could record or get an idea of where people are going to college so she could get some work done on her pages, Sarah started berating her, telling her that she would mess up her entire organizational system/ruin everything for her (in much ruder terms and a much harsher tone). Christina bravely said, "Sarah, you can't talk to us like this." (Which she was PERFECTLY in her right to do after the childish behavior she and Maddi put up with from Sarah) To which Sarah replied, "WELL YOU CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS!!!!!"
Sarah and Maddi started bickering back and forth, Maddi left to get the support of Natalie, but came back in under five minutes with nothing to show for it. Like when class actually began, all the underclassmen were sent out and we were all told that basically we had to suck it up and put up with each other for the rest of the year since these will be Natalie's last memories of Hoban.
All while sitting through the crazy awkwardness in that class, all I could say to myself was "WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS BULLSHIT SHIT MAN I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THIS SHIT I SHIT YOU NOT ARE YOU SHITTING ME IS THIS REAL LIFE?"
