What’s up with parents who describe their NARPy-kids as “committing” to a school in the RD round? They are not “committing”, they are deciding and you are sending in a deposit.
Can’t read the little number of notifications in the banner anymore. Some clever graphic person must have 20/20 vision and not be sensitive to middle aged vision challenges! Bigger, please!
You’re awful.
To the Helicopter parent who forced your child to go in to a field of study he isn’t ready for, advised him to cheat the system by applying to various majors at various universities to increase the odds of admission only to brag about “all the prestigious schools he got in to” and had no intention of ever attending most of them, developed business ventures where you developed the products and portrayed them as his on his EC, and forced him to chose a school that he is not ready for, makes his career uncertain and sets him up for disappointments, are you going to follow him him to his college to take care of his tests and homework too? please stop let the kid do what he really wants to do. You have already done the damage by teaching him that it’s okay to bend the rules as long as you don’t get caught. Please stop.
We’re really not impressed by your kid’s early admission to Dartmouth. We all know you used Dr. Quack (the guy multiple families, including ours, reported to the school for trying to diagnose our neurotypical kids with a LD for a price) after it became known he was an “SAT accommodations for hire” fraud, to give your kid a leg up. We also know you and her tutors wrote her papers, She was dumb enough to openly admit it to the other kids. She is an exceptional athlete, I’ll give you that, but she’s not a nice person. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Maybe karma will catch up with you and her, maybe not, but know that all the humble bragging in the world is not going to make people see her differently.
Here I thought you voted your conscious all along, not just to get reelected. So disappointing.
Today is the day. Please let her get an interview.
To the three semi truck drivers, driving south on I 35 about 40 miles north of Waco, TX Monday afternoon, Thank You! All three lanes were going at a pretty good clip and I was perplexed when one of you pulled in front of me in the far left lane, I thought you intended to pass the truck in the middle lane then all three of you all three of you slowed to exactly the speed limit driving side by side, forming a rolling barricade, forcing everyone behind you to slow down. I was starting to wonder what was up with you guys and then a few minutes later we passed a massive speed trap! Thank you for saving me from a huge speeding ticket and reminding me to be more mindful of my driving speed!
Be careful what you ask for. You might get it.
I’m sad you didn’t get an interview. Don’t give up on yourself. You only applied to one program and that was a mistake.
Missing the old CC logo!
update: I got accepted and I’m almost done with my first year!
So I can’t find my earring, but, I was able to snare the last online coach bag (now sold out) and BCBS FINALLY shows online that they have reprocessed (most of) the claims. Now, if they will finally pay the providers… Hopefully!
2 out of 3… is a good start.
BCBS you are slime. Took 8 mos of continually showing you you processed something wrong. Stall, deny, lie, stall, lie, deny, and lie some more. Well, FINALLY you seem (hopefully) to have addressed it. Thank you HR/benefits director for getting involved.
I am so proud to be your mom!
When I send you a list of tours to choose from, that doesn’t mean book them yourselves! I’ve now lost a nice chunk of commission. I wish you would have let me book them and get paid for my time.
Shoveling leftover snowbanks less than a week ago. 86 today. Maine does not have spring…
73 today, 105 forecast for Sunday. Wish I lived in Maine 
9 hours of slow roast paid off in the end! I don’t have to go to Jim N Nicks anymore!
So many days I feel like I am going through the motions with a substantial percentage of millennial students who don’t seen to want to be in school and who put little, if any, effort into their out of class assignments. But then, the end of the semester comes and a few students start coming by to thank me and it warms my heart so much. Today I had one of my students, also an advisee, stop by to pick up a recommendation letter. He is a young Korean student who struggles a bit with the language, but who excels in intellect and work ethic. He told me he will transfer on for next year, but then will have to return to Korea for military service. Well, that was a little gut punch thinking of this young man, so sheltered that his mother drives him to school each day, being involved in the military in one of the world’s hottest of hot spots. He bowed to me as he left and it really made me emotional. May the peacemakers prevail for his sake and so many like him.
