A fruit roll up. Some time a few months before christmas, my sister and I were fighting over the last fruit roll up in the box. She got it initially, but I got it in the end. She put it in several boxes Matryoshka style, added weight making it seem heavier, wrapped it, and put it under the tree. Imagine my surprise, after going through several layers to find that fruit roll up. Worst. Christmas. Ever.
You are under no obligation to go to office social events. Keep your work life and personal life separate if that is what makes you feel most comfortable. I moved to a new city 2 years ago and will be moving in the summer. I have exactly one friend from work.
I keep my social life playing videogames with my sister and some friends from grad school a few times per week. It's much better than forcing myself to socialize with people I would otherwise want to spend time with.
What's to stop them from doing it anyway barring there being a racist on the admissions committee? Even then, a majority vote would rule right? Couldn't the majority say, "We had exceptionally good black students applicants this year. This is an internal matter"?
Go to Wikipedia and look at the references. The Wikipedia editor credo is "show don't tell". Meaning don't explain it. Summarize something that does, and link it.
My friend is partial to the one where you are disemboweled, your entrails are wrapped around a stake, and you are forced to march until you die. I of course find capital punishment abhorrent and would never support a barbaric practice such as putting someone in an iron maiden.
Not to play devil's advocate (which is what people say beforr they play devil's advocate) is this clickbait or is there substance to the article. Bastard and innumerable others like him deserve to be punished, but I'm interested in the takr
I caught 3 students cheating a few days ago. Their exams were line by line identical. The handwriting was the only difference. I called them in to my office having printed their exams out. They all lied, including when I showed them their papers side by side, but you could see it in their faces. They knew they were caught.
Outside of this, I like these kids. They are good students with positive attitudes. Wanting to keep the consequences in house and prevent them from having to retake the course, I was very lenient and decided to give them all C's for the semester.
This wasn't good enough for the student who I am convinced did the original work. She spoke with her academic advisor. He emailed me. Since he didn't have all the details, he and I met to get on the same page. After speaking briefly, he agreed the penalty was fair.
Yesterday, right before I was about to leave the office, my department chair came by. This was someone I very much did not want to involve. The student went to speak to her as well. As I expected, my chair told me I had to take the issue to the honor council. For the students' sake, this was what I was avoiding the entire time.
I stayed late to send an email to the head of the council. By the time I got home, I had several panicked emails from each of the students. I tried to reassure them that the council is often lenient with first time offenses. And if they are unreasonably punative, I will petition to apply my the original decision given I know my students better.
Having spoken with the other faculty, I don't think the ring leader was trying to go over my head to put me in a difficult position. She was determined to find help, and it took courage to admit what she did to get that help. I told her as much in the last email I sent. It's a shame she may have made it much worse for herself and the others.
A large part of it is what part of a woman's body is objectified by society at large. There were times it was ass. Times it was hips. Times when women had to cover their ankles. Now it's breast, but it's all good to me.
