Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So sorry for your loss, -t. But glad you're safe.
And, happy birthday, Nutty!
Those stupid boys are lucky Jamie Foxx didn't just kick their butts into court. I wouldn't be surprised if that was actionable, considering it happened at work. (One of my co-workers always leans over to me after my boss rants and walks away, and says, "That's actionable harrassment, you know. I'll witness!")

Quick Question for people who work at Uni/Looniversities:
I am having an argument with the theatre department over work study students. I just feel like what we do is not the way work study is intended to work (or worked at all when I was in school).
First, let me say that we pay students incorrectly anyway. We budget a certain amount, say $500, for a student worker in a certain job (costume intern, Master Electrician, Props Master). Because students have to be paid hourly, basically we make up an hourly rate and a number of hours per week which will equal that budgeted amount.
Now, if a student has work study, HR says that the work study pays 3/4 of the hourly rate and the department pays 1/4.
So what the theatre does is pay the student $500 and then has work study pay them $1500 more. But if the student doesn't have work study they get paid $500.
This all seems wrong and vaguely unethical and unfair to me (especially since it means that some of the students now make more than I do once you multiply their pay times 3!), but I cannot for the life of me articulate why.
Am I going crazy?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm very sorry, -t.
Yes, don't come back a weremonkey or something.
Right, knew I was forgetting something. Have a great trip, ita!
Speaking of weremonkies, has anyone heard from Gus lately?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You're not crazy, Sophia -- that's wrong, wrong, wrong (and almost surely illegal on any number of levels). Every uni I've ever worked for pays a normal hourly rate to students (you know, for the actual hours worked!). Whether the student has work-study or not is a matter for the department budget -- one student doesn't get paid four times as much as another.
