I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.
