Now, I realize these questions and the assignment sucks. I'm so sorry about that. It really does and how the fuck this related to WORKPLACE anything, I don't know. (Retarded class, very much so, I agree.) If anyone wants to answer any of those for me, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to hand this in since it's worth 5% of my grade. Really hate this teacher, just so you know. I'm tired of all his religious terms and blatherings. I'd like my class ot actually stick to the course title, that'd be really nice. Really, really nice.
