Eraser Hell

So I've finished with the textbooks from yesterday, except for the ones with inked-in profanity. Those can wait until I've finished everything else. And I begin checking the workbooks. You see, some of these workbooks have been used, but some of them haven't. Is there any indication of which ones have and haven't been used (except for the one, lonely, shrink-wrapped bundle)? No, no there is not. Does someone have to flip through each and every one to determine which ones have been used and must be discarded and which ones are still pristine and available for use? Yes, yes someone does. Anybody care to hazard a guess who?

But that's not the worst part. Oh, no. The worst part is that some teacher, whom one would presume had at least the intelligence of an amoeba, considering he or she managed to graduate from college, took a book which is not a workbook. Which is designed to be copied by teachers to provide their students with enrichment worksheets. And gave this book to a student to use as a workbook. Then, compounding the iniquitous nature of his/her crime, had the student write in pencil! Now, instead of just writing the book off as a loss, I get to erase the penciled responses on 37 pages....

Now that I flip through, I notice that the Unknown Teacher used pen to check of the student's work on several pages. Maybe this is enough to justify me in discarding this book. Must check with the Textbook Lady for The District...if only I had noticed this before my fingers started cramping from holding the eraser.
