Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

Like meet with students and grade papers?

I have to schedule classes for the Spring 2014 semester and also do some committee work. I also have to copyedit some journal articles. As I've mentioned before, that can be a pain ********** because the authors tend to make mistakes that are hard to correct. (For example, they get quotes wrong, or else they get quotes right but cite them to the wrong source. I need to do the grunt work of finding the correct sources.) I also have to correct their grammar pretty frequently.

That does sound awful.

What is that a reply to, Mart?

The picture of Lumbergh.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I'm not sure what Lumbergh and drunk hipster chicks of brooklyn have in common. Cool suspenders maybe.

I forget another item for this thread: we were hoping to hire a particular candidate, but we found out today that she took a job elsewhere.

It would seem to me...and I'm just spit balling here...it would be far less work for you if you simply wrote the journal articles yourself. Just something to consider.

It's underrated in the sense the movie had crap box office and neither the movie, nor any facet of it, achieved critical acclaim or award. It was just a low budget project that flew under the radar to later achieve cult status.

OK, that's true.

I think that is what his research might lead to that he cannot get to. Catch 22.

I am 27 and probably the most knowledgeable person at my entire company. I can do anybody's job better and more efficiently than anybody also. This isn't pissing me off, but it is true.

do you work in my company's NY office?!

every day im amazed at the complete stupidity and lack of common sense by my peers and management. It blows my mind that this is a Fortune 200 company.

Yes, unfortunately my job requires me both to write journal articles and to copyedit others' articles. What's worse is that I wasn't supposed to have to copyedit articles this month, but the person whose job it was did not do it. Since it had to be done, and since I'm the person who's most qualified to do it, I did it.

I don't actually believe this. I was just being a douche.

I sort of believed that until I got promoted (well...limited to the extent of the people at my level and below).

Now it is absolutely not true

 

[patrickBOOTH]

What does me being a douche have to do with you getting promoted? A higher salary makes you see that I am not actually a douche?

nice backpedal, douche.

I don't ride a fixed gear, you hipster. I am a back break, man myself.
