TY! I love the service aspect of my job, I love the customers (even the crazies). I just don't like the sales part and the way we are pushed to sell sell sell.

The crazies MAKE customer service fun...

Notice to the thieving scum who stole my 2 heaters from the carpark of my new apartment: you suck.

Notice to the kid who decided to launch a potato over his backyard fence while I was driving down the street yesterday: I know there are only so many things one can fathom to do with a potato while in your backyard, but I'm sure smashing it over your head would have been much more effective seeing as how it's obvious your brain already lacks the capability to see cause and effect.

Although you did manage to hit my car, you still fail because I practically own a tank and your projectile bounced right into the gutter.

All stupidity aside, I must thank you for using a rotten potato, therefore not wasting edible food.

Notice to the "adult" student meeting with his advisor in the office next to mine:

No, don't mind me. I'd be so happy to watch your kids for you. In fact, don't even bother to say anything. Just go into the office, shut the door, and leave your 2 kids, both under the age of 3, to fend for themselves. I know you can hear them shrieking. People in Botswanna can hear them shrieking.

And don't mind me. I'm not working on anything important, like, say, a budget for a grant due to the funding agency by TUESDAY. No, nothing super important. I'd be happy to babysit your untamed brats. I'll just stay late tonight to finish my taxpayer-funded work then, shall I?

Notice to my torts professor:

You clearly are confused about the meaning of "optional extra credit." By the very words used it implies that it is, well, optional. And extra. For everyone else in the world except you, this means that if one does the optional extra credit, one's final grade may be raised. And if one doesn't, one's grade stays the same.

Let's look at an example: If I get an A- without the extra credit, my final grade is an A-. If I do the extra credit and add enough points to make an A, I get an A.

When you are working with a mandatory curve, this does not work. If I get an A- without the extra credit, but there can only be, say 5 people who receive an A-, and if 5 people who otherwise had a B+ do the extra credit and earn enough points to get an A-, then not only do they get their A-, but my grade is *lowered* to make room for their increase. So I get a B+.

This is not extra credit. It's a take home exam question. Period.

And yes, I could elect not to do it. I could also elect not to do any of the exam questions with exactly the same results. I suppose technically that makes it optional, but not if I want to continue in this program.

And you're not posting it until Friday evening but it's due Monday morning?

Gee, here I thought I'd study for the "real' exam this weekend. Thanks for all the notice.
