So doing research for my presentation on Working next week and I found this interesting tid bit:

1978, Walter Kerr in the New York Times complained, “All shows get standing ovations nowadays.  I think you have to promise to join in the standing ovation or they won’t sell you a ticket.  Down comes the curtain, up goes the audience.  And you now have ( Read more... )

So I spent two weeks working on this paper.  I wrote it and took it to our class' writing tutor yesterday to have someone look over it.  She was semi-helpful, but primarily just told me it was convoluted and I needed to rewrite it.  So today, on 3 1/2 hours of sleep I had to rewrite it.  I restructured much of it, rewrote the first half from ( Read more... )
