If yesterday was the end of the world, I got the memo. But in typical style, management must have screwed everything up. Having made it through yesterday, I’m faced with today. Today is also known as the first day of class here. In a little bit more than an hour I’m going to be in a huge computer lab with 200 kids who are too smart for their own good.
Hopefully it won’t take too long for these whippersnappers to figure out that they should sit down, shut up, and listen (and stop popping their collars).
UPDATE: Todays 170+ students did a great job. Hopefully Monday and Tuesday’s crews will do as well. Otherwise things will be worse than I thought. My name and email appears on the course memo that will ultimately be distributed to about 540 students. Ho. Lee. Crap.
Wha Says:
Make sure a couple earn their A’s the hard way. Suggest that appropriate dress be worn when coming to the lab, which would include the lack of popped collars.
I’m too old to be hitting on first-years. I’m also too young to have stopped caring about being appropriate.
It seems my days as a dirty old man remain somewhere in the distant future.
