Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
college kids. I gave a little lecture about reponsibility and timing today, but of course, the pepole who really needed to hear it weren't there.
You know, with college kids, I think the stakes for sloppy work, missed/late assignments, and lateness needs to be higher than missing a field trip. More like a grade ding.

Apparently (and I'm quoting here):
"Someone came in shitfaced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and fucked up a lot of stuff. There's an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum"
It's effecting a load of sites (Craigslist being another example).
I learned the mercator map from West Wing!
See, I used to feel all special for knowing about the Mercator stuff, and WW went and ruined that.

Still doubtful on the hating. Wait'll the world starts making them be upright all the time. Then they'll only wish they could lie around on their tummies.
At this point, I feel like rescinding the trip, but it would also punish those who did what they were supposed to do. OTOH, I hate for them to think that they can get away with this shit.

I put up an FNL cast interview linky thing in Bitches a bit ago.
I will have to go look for it.
Sekret message to JZ: I also want that other thing to happen, and I suspect Bitches will be the place. That would make my day much more entertaining.

it's pass/fail. Next year (if God continues to hate me and I'm still here), I'll institute a punishment system that involves their stipends. Late assignments, $50? don't attend a required event? $100, etc.
Seekrit message to Lee: looks like Thursday.
Ah-ha-ha!
JZ: TOO LONG
