Read about half a page, agreed with one guy about locking the door...couldn't handle any more of it. I'm assuming it didn't get better from there.

Of course you know that post was made with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek........
It was pretty random. Don't know where it came from, but yes, I do think I know you better than that.

Couple of nice adjuncting wins today. Both very minor, but those are the wins you can get.
1. Managed to get my exams printed at the school's copy center. System wanted me to use my DMACC computer. Of course, with no office, I don't have one, so I worked through the one in "my" classroom before anyone arrived.
2. Since I teach in a building that doesn't usually house liberal arts classes, or anything but culinary classes, the classroom door is always locked. Today, they gave me a key.
On the flip side, one of my more panicky students sent a frantic e-mail fearing that she left her study guide attached to her quiz. I responded within minutes of her e-mail, but realized something that I wouldn't have known in her shoes. She mentioned that she could come in at any time to get it. She doesn't realize that I have no office. My plan was simply to photograph everything and e-mail her (the documents, people, the documents).
All that said, I'm amazed that schools get away with an arrangement like this. There oughta be a better way, but it's cheap, so here it is.

I believe you actually said I was the "Winner."
Um, why does the "recent threads" section of the page to the right say I replied to the "new line of beer at HyVee..." 3 minutes ago? I started the thread yesterday afternoon and haven't replied there at all.
Tried refreshing my browser and it just keeps adding time to the line (now says 4 minutes ago.) What dimension is this anyway?

Freudian slip? Be careful whose "P" you are "mining" in a corporate environment!
Longstanding bug here at CF with that little widget. The "last post" only lists the OP, not the person who actually last replied.
I exited pretty quick, and didn't want to go back.I believe you actually said I was the "Winner."
I will be there
Your boss is a jerk
My boss is pulling rank on me.
In all fairness, I don't necessarily mind. It isn't that bad of a gig, also...
1) Press box is air conditioned. JTS is not. Was very grateful for that last Saturday.
2) The food is actually better....GET THOSE PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES AWAY FROM ME!
I'm trying my best to be off-off-topic today so I don't get bogged down in the real world. I've subscribed to the Grammar Girl emails for at least a few years. This is part of the "Quick and Dirty Tips" website.
Until today, I did not realize that the Quick and Dirty Tips website has a tag line of "Do things better." https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/why-do-pirates-say-arr

I doubt that would help. I've had people send me instant messages via facebook and message through linkedin when they were told not to bother me.
