My current workplace pet peeve is extra grading on top of all the grading.
sigh.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Hey, Teppy! You remember that marked-up version of a speech that Obama was looking at? You can download a high-resolution copy of the photo here: [link]
Heh. You say that as if I didn't already download it.
And, uh, make it my desktop.

I am also highly influenced by my mom, who basically felt that helping on a project was "cheating" and that all the other parents should stop.
Well, my help will mostly be (a) typing (everything has to be typed now and he doesn't know anything but two-finger poking); (b) keeping him on task; (c) helping him organize it. Plus some copyediting.
I'm not writing it or anything but he's never done anything like this before. Despite the in-class focus and project support from the teacher, he doesn't really know what it takes to do something like this.

We have a similar attitude in our district. Less cheating and more like, "My kid has more education than I have" so I never have presupposes parental involvement.

My current work pet peeve is that our corporate network is being wonky, making working from home today an exciting game of am I still connected? Can I check in this file?
My non-work pet peeve is OH MY GOD SINUS MIGRAINE. Remind me again why drilling a hole in my head is not a good idea?
Oh, and for those of you not on LJ, here is the post with some of the photos from the fancy gothy event I went to on Saturday night: [link]

My current work pet peeve is that I'm not there. I'm working from home, but I still don't like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't think of any pet peeves at work. I could complain about when I do a bunch of work and the client decides not to use what I did, but we still get paid so it's not a big deal to me. So my biggest work complaint would have to be lack of restaurants at our location.

My biggest one right now is I Don't Have A Job.
Though I'm also reminded of Matt Groening's work complaint, "They make me do stuff I don't particularly want to do."
