ATP synthesize. I actually knew that at one time.
Now, I don't remember and don't care. As it is with a lot of my classes.
The cumulative exams I took during grad school were a treat. Saturday morning, I think they were 3 hours. Half the time you didn't know the subject or who was proctoring it. Had to pass 7 out of 12 to move on. I only failed 2 if I remember correctly. Those were the worst exams I ever took.
I'm just going to leave it at this point. I laughed4 four hour exam?!?!?! Wow. 1 four hour exam would be brutal but 4 of the. That Would be awful.
I'm trying not to Say Anything about KC really knowing her balls.
Pete Schweddy approves, keeping in the holiday recipe vein with SNL:
Price ranger would be around a hundred. She's big into technology things nowadays, albeit she's not the greatest at using any of it. She's a big wine person. She loves to cook. I'd like to get her something that she would use frequently and won't just sit around.
Do they have amazon to do an Echo? I looked into a wine subscription for my mom last year--something where they delivered a couple bottles a month. I think you could pick types. There is a store in the East Village called All Spice that carries really good spices, maybe she already knows that place. They have gift boxes put together.
so I was asked to review some promotional materials that included a decent bit of data on them. It can be tedious to check but we don't want to send out wrong info. I was headed to a meeting so I forwarded to a couple other people to ask for their help as it was a tight deadline. I've been trying to pushback on this for a while anyway as I am starting to be relied on too heavily for something that is not my responsibility and generally happens at at time when I have my actual work to prioritize. But, because I'm careful and meticulous about it, no good deed goes unpunished and all that. So anyway, I'm trying to get other people involved and helping so it's not all dumped on me. One of the people I was trying to involve used to be more in charge of this but has moved away from it. I didn't think they had done a great job when they were in charge and was a bit leery that they would actually carefully look over what I sent them. But they had familiarity with the process and would know what should be done.
So I have a couple minutes to start looking at the material before my meeting. I quickly realize that every data point is outdated information and all of the materials need to be redone. I shoot off an email to the creator informing them. I don't have time to let the people I forwarded know.
I get back from my meeting and have two emails. One is the creator basically saying yep, we used old data, will resend corrected info soon.
Another is from one of the people I forwarded to. They say "looked over it quickly, didn't find anything glaring."
You know, aside from all of it being wrong. Guess I was right to suspect they'd half-ass it. Hell, they didn't even do that.

Don't you hate it when people start coming to you for everything. I get that all the time. I'm always in a bad mood in hopes they leave me alone but that doesn't work.
