It Has Been Made To Mean Something!
Quick hits and corrections on the goings-on at my semi-esteemed graduate school
Since I'm sure at least 6 of the 11 people who visit ThatKidInTheCorner have been nervously awaiting an update on the school election, I figured I'd offer some quick updates (as well as some corrections):
Only Eleven Direct Reports: in my eagerness to ridicule the absurdity of the student government org chart posted in the school lobby, it seems I misspoke somewhat. Whereas I claimed that "15" faces were directly connected to the president, it turns out it is actually only 11 faces. Mea culpa. The remaining four report to other people on the org chart. Note that the entire concept of the org chart with reporting lines remains self-parodic and absurd.
He Made Something Mean Something Else!: guess who won the school election. Just guess. Captain Website carried the day! I guess the student body really wanted to make it mean something as well. Again, I'm sure this dude is a really nice guy with some great ideas for the school. I just wish he didn't shame us all with that URL.
Ongoing Poltroon Watch: so she still hasn't been on time. Not even once. Not even on the way back from a break in class. NOT ONCE. Today she rolled in at 10:21 am. Class begins at 10 am. Rarely is more than one other person late. The killer in the whole experience is her relative shamelessness about the whole thing. Her entrance today was accompanied by her backpack, coffee in one hand, juice with straw in the other as well as a paper bag containing a pastry. So it's clear that she obviously wasn't in a hurry to get there on time -- she budgeted plenty of time for a full breakfast. At 10:29, in the midst of her coffee, juice, and pastry, her computer started making (for lack of a better term) duck noises. Quacks. At this point the professor stopped speaking and asked her what that noise was. "I don't know. It just started doing that." Oh really? It just started doing that? Perhaps if you weren't IM-ing while eating your multi-plate breakfast it wouldn't make that noise. (I'll stop now.)
Viva La Business School!
