Evening OT; kewl for the pancake breakfast.
You going to get a garden 'dwarf' to keep the flamingo company?
:-)
Yah. People are pretty sensitive around here too, sometimes with decent reason, but oftentimes without. Seems you can't even move a plant without somebody getting all huffy about it.
Mwahaha.... we survived. Heh heh heh. We got the plagiariser off our team. The professor said we were absolutely right to bring it to him. And he confirmed what I thought, that we could have been severely penalized if we hadn't found him out...
Exactly.
In other news, they've finally gotten around to interviewing for a new payroll rep.
We need more along the lines of 3 new reps, but they only approved one requisition. One's better than none at this point. *grin*
BTW, are you driving down with Hair and ecurbh for ShootMoot or flying alone?
Evening - guess we best toss our hats in the ring as well for the Dogwood Ridge Shoot n' Moot. OB & LSA; driving; primarily bent sticks w/strings & pointy sticks w/feathers but in the keeping with the spirit of the 'shoot-moot' my .45 Webley & my .54 flintlock longrifle; we be stayin' off-site (in town)at nite.

It'll be wonderful to see you and LSA again!
Looks good! I'm really looking forward to it.
Be good to see you again & to meet our other HH FRiends we just haven't run into yet. :-)
I'm still trying to convince trini to come along with me, but she's being stubborn. :-D
I killed it good.
Nighty night folks!
I'm still here... :-( was off someplace for just a bit..
I'm here...
Sigh. I absolutely hate group projects. Now that we've gotten rid of Mr. Plagiarist, it's obvious that another member of our team is incompetent and lazy; my galpal and I are having to scramble to cover his section here...
I agree... but this is graduate school, you'd think people would understand "research this topic and write a four-page section for including in the group paper", wouldn't you?
I dunno... I met a lot of dimwits in grad school. Had to do "team" projects with them too... like anywhere else and like in bidness... a couple of people drive the project and the rest just hang on with the minimum.
So what if there's no "I" in "team". There ain't no "you" or "me" there either. :-)
There's a "me"... for "this is my grade we're talking about".
It's just not nice that some people have four hard-working members, while we effectively have two.
hehehe... love those. They're so terrifyingly true.
Yah. I guess the only thing to do is work for your own grade. Sometimes that means other team members ride for free... so be it.
It's a pretty safe bet that all the other groups have the same issues.
One thing I've noticed about committees... is they get set up whenever there's a project that the groupthink suggests might be important, but nobody really wants to do-- and for sure nobody wants to "own" it. They're great for putting stuff off until next year's budget. :-)
