Anger Management and Its Problems
FOUND by Noah Holm
in New Haven, Connecticut
I found this at the high school at which I work. It sums up high school quite succinctly.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
control issues, power struggle, terminal acne, no one to buy. Yep. that's high school, all right.
The very bottom line kind of looks like it says George.
It only takes eight managements to turn into problems.
the writing doesn't look very angry...the loop on the g in anger and the tail on the m in management and the p in problems seem upbeat and carefree. I find this interesting.
dearest Arthur, James or Jason: why oh why does Magnify no longer work?
is there any chance its the start of a vocabulary list? i used to do this to practice for HS vocab tests. well i guess the word choices are a bit strange for a vocab quiz...
just thinking
I imagine that while a really boring teacher was lecturing, a student just started writing the word anger in a column. Then they realized how stupid anger looks alone and tried to put a word after it to make it make sense.
Or possibly this is some weird new therapy type thing that they are teaching people now?
This is the first time magnify hasn't worked for me. Still, I am very upset about it.
FIX IT
Get a grip, Lauren.
And some manners.
Wow.. lauren, maybe you need some of what this list is suggesting?
I thought that some of the 'anger's' looked like they say arrive. And the last one does look like George.
Writing - what does "no one to buy" mean?
The first line says "Mangement." That's a perfect word for what my little dog is dealing with on his back right now.
I was wondering where I left this...
Noah (if you're around), which high school do you work at?
Looks like a match line-up; looks like anger beat both management and problems....
GO ANGER!
I thought the last line said "Ginger".
I wonder if someone suggested to an angry person that they write what they thought of when they heard "anger"; they suggested they write anger _______ (fill in the blank) a certain number of times. The person was too angry to get far.
Pardon my grammar. No coffee.
This would have been alot more awesomer if it was found at a Henry Rollins show.
This really pisses me off!
I have observed the anger issues, yes, but I also sense some obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) tendencies on the psychological side, along with the danger of repetitive motion syndrom (RMS) on the physical side. What's your opinion, doctor?
Related concersation:
Student: Do you have any books on COD?
Librarian: What's COD?
Student: It's like OCD except the letters are in alphabetical order, the way they're SUPPOSED to be.
"conversation" of course, not "concersation" !
Um, Librarian, did you mean CDO?
CDO
C.D.O.
[NOTE TO SELF: joke is a lot funnier if I tell it correctly]
[NOTE TO POSTERS: please ignore everything else I type today]
Don't be so hard on yourself, librarian. We all have those days.
I didnt think that high school kids write in cursive anymore. The writing looks somewhat "European" in style to me (extra loopiness, exaggerated r, etc). Maybe this was written by an immigrant who is having problems coping in the American school system? His or her teacher is punishing him/her for an angry outburst by making the student repeat the lines so many times. What I find funny is that it looks like the kid had trouble spelling management and so, maybe to avoid another "outburst," switched to the easier to spell "problems."
I agree with Indy, that the writer couldn't spell 'management' the same way twice, and switched to 'problems.' The crumpled-ness of the paper says it all.
And by "writer", I mean "Flargy."
This reminds me of those long lists of spelling words the teacher used to make us write. Every stinkin' day, whether I knew the words or not (usually did). Over and over and over. It was a waste of time. I swear it gave me arthritis, and yeah, it made me angry. grrrr
@ mona lisa ... Well, maybe.
But I'm still in serious need of a long vacation.
Having written many, many, many pages of lines in school, to wit: "I will not talk in class;" I recognize the strategy. Write all of your "Anger"s first, then start on your "management"s. Problems occur (figuratively and literally in this case) when you can't focus long enough to remember what word you are writing next.
"writing in books at school is an obnoxious and vandalistic thing to do."
that was the phrase I had to write 500 times when I took the fall for someone else's obnoxious vandalism. 5th grade.
Manage your anger by writing out 'anger management problems' 100 times. And when that doesn't work, angrily screw up the paper into a little ball and then throw it away... aaahh, that's better.
Librarian -- 'COD' reminds me of the fishmonger who's trying to tell a particularly pushy customer she can't have cod today because the stock has run out.
'No, I don't have any cod.
No, there's no cod today.
Fresh out of cod.
Don't you understand? There's no cod. NO COD.
C-O-F-D!'
Customer:
'There's no F in cod.'
Fishmonger:
'Yes, that's what I've been trying to tell you!'
Oh yus, the old ones are the best.
is it lame that the joke above me took like 5 minutes for me to understand?
I was so confused too.
Uh oh.
Hey, Hannah: good thing you weren't around for the nun and soap joke a while back. Can't remember if that was Flargy's joke or Jonathan's.
Reminds me of when the teacher write, "I will not chew gum in class." 500 times!!!!!
