Mac has had "test prep" sections of homework in his math books since kinder or 1st that require bubble filling and/or circling. It has made him better about reading directions and he is totally familiar with filling in bubbles. He does not associate that with tests at all.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I emailed her for something she has been stalling on, and at the dean's request, copied in the Dean.
She replied to me copying in the Dean and saying "Sorry, Dean, for copying you in on this totally unnecessary email."
But the dean requested the cc, so presumably the dean is also thinking "Fuck you!" Or at least engaging in endless rolling of eyes.
Look at it this way: *you* know the professor just made herself look like an ass. That's got to be satisfying.

poor mac always has a wrong hypothesis and then is really unhappy about it.
Oh, poor mac. But finding out your hypothesis doesn't hold up is a good result! That's hard to internalize, of course, but it's true.
Grr, Sophia. I hope the dean remembers requesting being copied so that the professor looks foolish for that remark.

I'm about to start a protest about the quality of the toilet paper in our building. The other building, new and shiny with all the executives, doesn't have crappy toilet paper.

You could send them that warning about the hazards of poor quality toilet paper that Tommyrot linked to yesterday. Do they really want to risk an OHSA investigation?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just got the most snotty reply to an e-mail that I've seen in a while. I'm resisting the urge to forward it around to my coworkers so they can share my general feeling of "Okay, dude, you can bite me."

you should write out your complaints on the TP.
my boss has been out of the office most of the last two days and it is not work work. Other current employees have been along as has a paid consultant. SO SKETCHY. I wish he would just quit already.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
