Today's Stupid Student Story- Student sends in their enrollment form for the summer program (which I technically no longer run, but whatever) that clearly states "By signing this form, I am accepting the invitation to the 2009 Program and agree to attend for the entire session. " She now calls to say that she's waiting to hear from some other programs and is this binding?

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So they call themselves freegans now, not dumpster divers? What? Like changing the name changes the ideology?
Back when I was growing up my parents had a friend who was a bitter, ex-hippie turned dumpster diver. For him it was a lifestyle choice based on frugality, lack of funds, and a failure to recognize the health benefits of "use by" dates. When he'd come over, he'd always bring a hostess gift for mom, usually something like a head of mungy iceberg lettuce, and my mom would thank him sweetly and then throw a look over her shoulder to one of her girls.

I think they're trying to step off the consumerist grid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yah, it's this whole thing where they don't believe in being CONSUMERS, see. And that people who buy into the MYTH that we all have to be freakin' CAPITALISTS are WRONG, blah blah blah.
Bunch of damn trustafarians. Where do they think their dumpster diving finds and hitchhiked rides would come from if capitalism collapsed?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Does anyone know anything about how fertility is affected after thyroid issues have been resolved?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Had the student meeting. Very uneventful, in a watch from the hall way. He told that I acted like I expected him to be perfect. He told me that he had done the job to the best of his ability, and that he had no experience with "clerical work". I called his shit out, in a very nice way. Words like "failure of judgment", "extremely poor choices" and "quit before I fired you" were used.

"I expect you to be able to ask a damn question if you don't know how to do something, rather that taking a fucking week to do it and just half-assing it, and then acting like I asked you to move heaven and earth to do something a reasonable competent eighth grader could've done..."
