A BBc show - that is influenced by BTVS - or at least Death is

I need to find a job where I'm not working with advertising people. They're too high-strung, man. I'm going to strain something with all the eye-rolling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Sue -- I'm marking your post.

Congratulations, Kathy!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, just got back from discussing the review. She's open to the MLS idea, and we're including it on the potential goals for 2006 (contingent on my being accepted, of course!). Raise is only two percent, but considering the maximum raise company-wide is only three percent, and that I didn't get one at all last year, I'm okay with it.

I'm now at the midway point of my range, and apparently the head of the division isn't too thrilled when people get above that point without making noise about moving into higher positions in the company. The MLS helps with this.

I was hoping that it was a "Hello Kitty" breathalyser. . .rather than just a test for halitosis.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hivemind question:

As a lab instructor, how much should I chase my lab students for their final project?

Thefinal project is basically just to sew something within a list of criteria, and they are to let me know if they need help. In october, they were supposed to tell me what their project was, but did not. I sent an e-mail reminder that I would be in the shop this week if they wanted help with their projects (due at the end of the semester-- in a few days). One student has been in contact with me about getting into the shop/turning in the project. One has not. I will admit I have been a bit lax about the reminders-- as in the past two weeks I have worked over 120 on the show alone and I can't quite figure out what portion of the lab grade is based on the project. (the syllabus says that the lab grade is 50 %, that 50 % based 40% on attendance, 20% on skills mastery, 20 % on initiative, and 20 % on attitude)-- I think the lab project is the 20 % of skills mastery????

Anyhoo, I really don't feel like chasing this girl to have her turn in her project, because I think it is going to mean me sitting with her until she completes it, but I don't want to be unfair to her.
