What are you pretending not to know?

i saw the question posted on another forum i lurk around, thought it might be interesting to post here. not necessarily to get answers (though it'd be interesting to hear) but kinda just to make yah think....
as for me, on a daily basis i pretend not to know customers are outright lying when they call in to verizon wireless customer service and act like they don't know where download charges on their bill came from
I guess my whole outward outlook can be a mix of toughness and serenity, so its easy for people to be misled simply by observing my movements as i'm not really good at pretending.. ;)b
I'm pretending not to know that I am gaining weight again...
I am pretending not to know that I might be completely and indefinitely unemployed and poor after next Friday. (I just quit my job...)
I'm pretending not to know that I can't find my first English paper of the term, and that my professor didn't record the grade, and that I might not get credit for it.

I quit my job at the end of the last school year without having another one lined up. It sucks, but so does staying at a job you don't like. I don't know your situation, but I know that's how it felt for me. Anyway, things tend to fall into place somehow. With me, I got two part time jobs and then at the end of the summer, a school finally called. I had completely given up on getting a teaching job, but somehow, it worked out. I don't want to make this post about me, and like I said, I don't know your situation, but I never regretted quitting that other job, eventhough I had to adjust my lifestyle and mindset for a little while.
Yeah, I don't regret quitting at all. I am completely unhappy where I am and this is really for the best. I am just incredibly scared! I do have an interview for my dream job coming up next Thursday, as mentioned in another thread, so maybe things will fall into place more nicely than I think. We shall see...

i feel like that is their fault if they didn't record the grade. at the very least you should be able to do something to make up for it. also, it's not saved on your computer OR a hard copy?

If that happened to me, I would just omit the grade for that student and grade based on everything else. Or is this like the only assignment? That sucks. Make-up opportunities would also be nice. Lame sauce.
precisely, you should not be punished for a professors mistake.
I am pretending not to know that I hate working two jobs that give me no intellectual stimulation and that I need to get my ass in gear and find a teaching job because waitressing and retail are slowly destroying my body!

I had an extra hard copy, but she wanted the one she graded. I talked to her about it, told her I made an A, and she thought about it. I have good grades on everything else (only 2 Bs I think). Then the girl that sits next to me told her that she remembered me getting an A because she resented the freshman in sophomore English. The prof reread my paper, remembered it, and gave me a 94.
I feel lucky. Oh so lucky.
I'm glad everything worked out for you Courth!
I'm pretending not to know that the really awesome advent calendar that my mom sent me is a huge temptation...behind the doors are squares of milk chocolate.... :-\
i sure jesus wouldnt mind if you opened all the doors early and then gave all the chocolates away. i'm pretty sure he and all the other catholics are all about resisting temptation.. (if my memory of the 'our father' serves me correctly).

I know for a fact He wouldn't. Besides which, giving the chocs to a grateful recipient would be your good deed for the day.
If it's any comfort I find the milk choc in most Advent calendars to be less than top-shelf stuff anyways.
Well I don't think the calendar is religious perse...
And opening the doors each day is the fun part, the second fun part is finding a surprise inside.
Yeah, Yabbitgirl, I usually find the chocolate in those pretty cardboard tasting. I'd almost feel bad about giving them away. As of now, I'm just piling them up on my counter. ;D

ugh, that chocolate was so nasty when my mom got me one last year. i saw them at the grocery store yesterday and got excited. then i remembered what it tasted like.
i'm pretending not to know i have to be an adult later and deal with some bills that need disputing... :-\ major anxiety... but at the same time, major anxiety that i'm actually gonna have to pay $365 for my obgyn visit... merry christmas :'( ...
