Puerto Rico announced today they are laying off 40K government employees. People are sort of freaking out.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Cash, you jinxed me. I don't know whether to scream or cry right now. Remember the stupid student assistant who didn't make the copies because there was no paper? I have just now discovered that he has done something else stupid. You know how when you're in college, you have a "school address" where you're living and a "permanent address" where your parents live?
I have now just discovered that for "school address", he put THE FUCKING UNIVERSITY'S ADDRESS in the database. So, having printed a bunch of letters and FedEx labels, I now realized that all of the letters are wrong, the labels are wrong and HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT.

Oy, Vortex.
I gave my students a midterm today. It went pretty well, I think, except for one problem -- on one of the questions, a student pointed out that I'd said to find the tangent line at a particular point, but that point wasn't actually on the curve. He was right, so I picked a point that was on the curve and told everyone to use that point instead. This point that I picked somewhat at random turned out to be one point that the curve wasn't differentiable, making the problem have no answer with that point. Oops.

I mean, I'm trying to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, but seeing as how the database has a field for "school address" and one for "permanent address", is it too much to think that he'd figure that one out?
I just figured out what the problem was when one of the student's address was "Registrar's Office".

Oh, Vortex. This is the type of stuff that made my coworker say "How do they even cross the street and get to class without getting hit by a car!?!"

I feel better. I have had ginormous bowl of pasta and and am working my way through a (second) glass of wine.
