Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Question: If someone asks for your GPA, and it was 3.45, would you say 3.5? Or list it on a resume that way?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I wouldn't.

(Who is asking for your GPA? I'm always weirded out when it comes up in the context of anyone past say 30, unless it's a school application.)

Dana, why is someone asking for your GPA? That's ridiculous at your age.

Even worse, it's my husband. He's potentially interviewing with a lab, and if your GPA is under 3.5, they need VP approval to hire. (That's fucking absurd, right?)

Incredibly absurd. What was his in-major GPA? Could he give them that? (Mine was worse than my overall, but i think that's not usual)

This was his MBA, so I don't think he had any non-major classes.

Lord, I don't even remember my GPA. I graduated Cum Laude, but that's all I remember.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have no idea what my GPA was. If it was 3.45 I would say that though, not round up, especially if it is something they could easily verify.

Because books.

So his years of work experience don't matter as much as one B on a test a long time ago?

This is why no one can have nice things.
