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.
Wow, that is crushingly stupid.
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.
{{Bitches}} Today does seem to have been the shit special sandwich, hasn't it?
::passes the tequila to everyone::

eh, sounds like a gimme to me.
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".
OMG, Vortex. The stupidity, it burns!
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.
Today was just annoying. we have complained about the remanufactured ink cartiages. Two printed pink. two printed red and blue ( no yellow) .
Now my lap top is noisy. DH says we must blow out the fan, but the compressed air, she is vanished.
