Upon arriving at the education building I reached into my folder and pulled
out my chocolate cookie, so I could enjoy it and not have to inhale it. When I
finished, I basically did the same as earlier that morning, but the only difference
was I had a different group of students to teach,

Four o'clock finally arrived, so we all got the computers shut off, lights out
and made our ways back to our cells for 4:30 count. During the 4:30 count, I
untied my laundry bag, got my whites all folded and placed them all in my
locker. The rest of the time was spend playing some cards.

When the doors reopened I figured it was going to be a wait pretty much like
the wait for lunch. Unfortunately, someone came up with the idea to play
dominoes, So four guys say down at the _metal_ table in the corner of our quad and
began playing.

Now let me explain just exactly what this involves and why it is so
#*%@!$& annoying.

First, this is once again a time that prisoners find it necessary to yell back
and forth at each other while only sitting three feet apart. Second, for some
strange reason they found it necessary to slam the dominoes on the table rather than
just put them down. (Ex. Eric takes domino and slams it against the desk. After
waiting for class to get fingers out of ears he does it again.) I checked the
directions and nowhere did I read that you have to slam them. I asked someone a
about it back when I first came to prison and they explained it was a form of
an intimidating thing. I was like, "Oh, of course. That makes all the sense in the
world." (Said in a sarcastic tone)

So while guys are trying to watch T.V. (SLAM), read a book (SLAM), write
a letter (SLAM), take a nap (SLAM), or just keep their sanity (SLAM), these
dumb asses find it necessary to annoy everyone else in the quad. Remember,
we're in a room that has concrete floors and walls, so noise echoes
throughout. I'm hoping I'll get used to it within about twenty years, but I can't
help but to think how these are the same guys that complain because _they're_ not
treated with respect.
