Torontonians: anyone have a PC laptop?
It seems that lately my appearances on LJ have to do with asking favors of y'all--apologies for that. Here's the issue: does any Torontonian have a PC laptop (is that the right term? Not the most technology-savvy person here :{ ) that I can borrow for Tuesday? I'm giving a lecture for the class I'm TAing this week in Scarborough, and I went to ( Read more... ) -

A favor to ask of my readership: does anyone know of where one can find out what conferences are being held or planned for a specific geographic region? I've been asked by someone to find out what literature conferences are being held in February and March in and around Toronto, or at least Ontario. I know that's quite broad--the inquiry itself ( Read more... ) -
Calling U of T-ers--ROSI account balance question
Question about ROSI account balances--if you're TAing during the fall or winter terms and are getting that money by direct deposit into your bank account, are you supposed to pay that money to U of T via ROSI yourself? I got this "you've got an account balance" email, and am totally confused about what I'm supposed to do ( Read more... ) -
Am drowning

Just need to vent because I am full of rage that yet another book I really need is listed in the U of T catalog as on the shelf in Robarts, yet it is NOT THERE. And there is only one copy in the library system. This is possibly the 5th or 6th book within the last week that this has been the case for me. I. Am not. Amused. -
Saved from my own naivety
A couple weeks ago, I was sitting around the CMS Great Hall dining room table with a bunch of CMS folks, talking about this and that. At some point I mentioned in passing that I had gotten a TAship with about 45 students, or 3 sections. Not knowing the difference between the notification letter alerting me to the TAship (which was what I had ( Read more... ) -

So I'm really frikking annoyed right now at my living circumstances. When I first moved into this apartment, which is more like a triplex (small building, so I have a unit of neighbors upstairs and a unit across from me), the other two units were each occupied by working professionals. In other words, people who were very good about keeping noise ( Read more... ) -
