That moment when you have an exchange with a student that leaves you shaking your head and wanting to tell them, "Look, just drop all your classes, get a refund, and leave school, because you're just wasting both your own and your professor's time."
I've had those and I don't even work in Programs.
 
Next time you play Overwatch you should call GasBandit "Keyster Soze".[DOUBLEPOST=1478214820,1478214305][/DOUBLEPOST]

Alright so what happened was, she came in and asked if she could "borrow a copy of OpenOffice". Okay, first off, OpenOffice is software, which we do not have available to lend (I work in the library). Secondly, it's available for free, online. Third, software isn't really a thing you "borrow" without bending a few regulations here and there. Fourth, what she meant was that she wanted the handout that tells students how to redeem a code for Microsoft Office 365 for free on their home PC.

Then she asked if we were open "on the date you go and, you know, uh, vote and stuff." I said, "You mean Election Day? Like this coming Tuesday?" She goes, "Oh, is that when it is already? Anyway, is the college open?" I said, "Yeah, it's not a holiday." She laughs and goes, "Well, not with this election, right?"

...explain in further detail, I am confuzzled.
He is suing a company for the injuries caused by not gifting him a cutting utensil to aid in portioning a semi-soft food item. Because U.S. case law generally operates on precedent, the outcome of a case has to always be thought of in terms of perverse incentives (for private individuals, organizations, and governments).

The lawsuit pdf is like 4 pages double-spaced, and only the last 1.5 of them are worth reading. It might help clarify. This is hopefully getting thrown out of court, anyway, and should make this guy look like a clown for the remainder of his professional life.
 
I recommend bhamv3 for counsel. if anyone knows about choking chicken...
I'm an expert on choking chickens, not choking on chickens! I'm not qualified for this!

You always see action ladies ripping up a side of their nice skirt or nice dress in order to get better leg movement, they should just invest in dresses/skirts with zippers and save themselves some time! Or if those don't exist, Kickstarter that shit and rule the market, in said world where action ladies exist.

Or wear more pants. Katherine Hepburn could rock pants at causal and formal occasions. (I know she's not really an "action lady", but she had the right idea.)

Reminds me of a news story from back in 2004...

http://chicago.metblogs.com/2004/08/30/i-am-vengeance-i-am-the-knight-i-am-batman/

Sometimes, after a really rough day, something wonderful happens. From the Sun-Times:
“A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children’s birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as “vengeance,” then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said.”
“When the owner of the home asked the man who he was, the intruder replied, “I am vengeance. I am the knight (sic). I am Batman.” Then the man went into the kitchen, cut a piece of birthday cake, took it into the living room and ate it.”​
AWESOME! Thank you, Sun-Times. You made my Monday worthwhile.
