Do you think your career progress is being thwarted by your inability to make a parallelogram?

Finding papers that have been copied off of the sites like gradesaver.com is never a good way to finish out the weekend before a major holiday.

I tell them and tell them. I say, "As soon as I see the word "superlative" in your essay on Beowulf I'm gonna know that you bought that sonuvabitch. So don't TRY IT."

( Work and Sports and Melo. Because everyone needs a little Melo. )

sports, work

*fights urge to grope Melo in an inappropriate manner*

Hope he isn't injured too badly. If I spend $82.50 on an 8th row seat to the Suns/Nuggets game on December 2nd, only to be deprived of Captain Lack of Wise Decision-Making Skills, I will be vaguely pissed-off. And I say vaguely because so long as Steve and Boris are there to occupy me, I should be able to manage.

You planning on showing the class Skinny Shuge's epic masterpiece "Stop Snitching"? Because that would be...epic.

*falls over*

Oh, that's priceless. I should show it. Just for shits and grins.

And I'm sure that Melo will be playing. He seems fairly indestructable. I mean, unless Chauncey, like, kneecaps him before the Pistons game.

Snerk. You know, I had this great discussion with one of my professors about the time he confronted a student who had (very obviously) copied a paper from online. The student flatly denied it, and when the professor patiently showed the copy he had found from an online site, the student-- who, mind you, was writing about C-level work to begin with-- tried to bold-facedly claim that he sometimes liked to write papers and post them online for other people to benefit from and enjoy.

"I mean, I had to give him for sheer brazen balls," my professor said. "Not many people would try to make that claim."

Oh they are inventive. My first semester, I did the whole copy and print and hightlight thing and the girl just gave me her best big eyed OMG-not-me! look and flat out denied it. "I didn't do that, and it's just coincidence."

When I didn't believe that, she blamed the Engligh prof who'd helped her on it. He, according to my budding genius, got the essay off of the Net and gave it to her.

. . . hope you're feeling a bit better by now. What lousy timing.
