So, uh, Aimee, was there something more you wanted to tell us about this additional work you're taking on?

BWAH! Actually, that's Joe's sideline. He does a bait and switch - people have to watch him do the laundry.

Is there a curve that will be applied to these raw numbers?

Not really. His grading is really strict, unless you're on the edge of pass/fail. Then he'll talk to the TAs and find out if you deserve a few extra points for the system not working for you.

And there are tutors, plus a "development group," which is a tutorial of the week's lectures. I wasn't able to go this week, because of a job interview. But, it's right after my lab, so I plan to go most of the time. The problem with the tutoring offered at school is that they are workshops, and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to fit them into my schedule now that I've got a job. But, we'll see. Plus, I can try to get extra help from the TA.

The TA offered to look over our lab reports if we get them to her early enough. So, I'm going to try to write it tonight so I can send it to her tomorrow. Lab isn't till Tuesday, so that should be enough time, I hope.

Also, I'm at a disadvantage, because my lab is early in the week. So, we may be doing things in lab that we haven't discussed in class yet or have just introduced in class. I'll work through it, though.

Jilli, basically this: [link] but brown, and tricked out.

Cash, my skin gets tetchy, too, which is why we switched to the natural brands ages ago. If we buy on sale and stock up, it's about the same as regular.

I'm going to check at WF to see what they carry. My other natural food market is very small and doesn't carry large quantities.

My gracious. Look at that. I want *that* coat, just the way it is.

Dear Boss: Next time a 300 page document crucial to the future of the school needs to be written/edited, please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO IT.

I'm sitting here sticking numbers into a Word table as fast as I can. Hour two of that feeling of "I'm expending a lot of brainpower to do something exceedingly boring knowing the numbers are all wrong due to some data normalization problems." And the "key" number upon which EVERYTHING spins appears to be completely wrong and may have to be calculated by hand, which means I'll have to runs hours of data queries to make sure there are no errors in the system before adding up 225 numbers to get it wrong again.

ARRGH.

Jilli, you should hang out here: [link]

Well, I just searched 'dressage jacket' and am now the high bidder on this: [link]

Aimee, I'm so sorry you had to give the kitty up, and don't know how you could have come to a different decision.

vw, toward how much of your total grade does your lab grade count? Toward how much of your lab grade does this one lab count?

xposted with GWW:

I just finished my rough draft.

It's a strange feeling, at once triumphant and bereft. And I feel like the real work is still to come--editing it until it's the best I can make it, querying agents and editors, in general doing all I can to find it a home.

But I did it. I've written two books. That's something, right?
