In the WTF students file -- Student sends an email to a professor (that copies me and about 20 other people/programs) that says "I am sending this e-mail to request for a recommendation letter, Sir. Please attach the letter to the reply to this e-mail and forward to all. I do not need to be copied. Thank you sir." WTF kid? I need letterhead and an actual signature, this won't cut it.
Then, he sends an email (again, to me and a bunch of other programs) with a bunch of PDFs attached and says "Here's all of my other stuff" that includes an essay that he didn't even bother to personalize for each program. Can I at least get a cut and paste for the name of the program?
I tell him that he needs to mail the stuff to me, per the instructions on the website and he says "can't you accept an electronic copy" I want to reply "If I wanted to, you wouldn't be getting the damned email. Now print your shit out and put it in an envelope"
Oh! Oh! I know! "(Student's Name) is reasonably familiar with email and how the internet works. He is relatively good at spelling, though I haven't corresponded with him enough to gauge his tense and subject-verb agreement. Thank you for your attention."
This is your requested recommendation. You may attach it to your other electronic material and submit it as you see fit.

Hee!
I'm dyeing a test-strand of hair. My goal is this color: [link] My other goal is to not turn my entire apartment orange in the process.
Has Bitches mentioned today that it's Anne's birthday?
Felicitations, Anne! May there be cake! And sparklers! And a wonderful year ahead for you.
Orange is in, Hil. Though...I can see where inadvertent orange would be a problem.
From the dept. of be careful what you wish for: Since it got out that my boss was leaving, a bunch of people have asked me if I'd want to try for her job, and I've said that I'd want the cool project consulting part of her job but not the department head, managing people, budget crisis parts of her job.
I apparently forgot to specify that I wanted this
instead of
my current job and not
in addition to.
The pay grade would be nice, too.
And in the annals of Oh, for fuck's sake...
Pittsburgh university upset over Grisham novel
Officials at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh are upset that best-selling author John Grisham mentions the school in connection with a fictional gang rape in his latest novel.
Well, my hair is continuing its history of refusing to be any color other than dark brown. I left the henna on the test strip for an hour, and it's maybe very slightly more red, but really still just brown.
By that logic, Barb, the whole city of Boston should be lying in wait to beat up Dennis Lehane. AFAIK, they're not. Cindy? Victor? Am I right?
And why did Baltimoreans love Homicide so?(though sometimes not the brass)
Oh, amych, I know that one!
