So yesterday, as with every day in a state job, I had a ton of paperwork I had to get signatures for. One of these forms happens to be the one that allows the state to pay me for the extra work I do for one professor during the semester. (I take care of the invoicing for one of her projects.

Happy Unimaginative, Consumerist-Oriented, and Entirely Arbitrary, Manipulative and Shallow Interpretation of Romance Day

...Okay it feels terribly greedy to put this on my blog but the truth is it's the quickest way to distribute information to all of you at once. :)

So what I want for Christmas:

The first time they got 75% of our group's orders wrong, and when they realized that they offered to comp us with some ( Read more... )

Want to see a whole bunch of people with Ph.D.'s reduced to toddlers not getting their way? Tell them the copier is broken and the part will not be available until early next week.
