What do parents want from Professors?

<p>

</p>

<p>I remember a show I saw where a lawyer realized that she needed to file some kind of motion for a BIG CLIENT in the courts, but the deadline was at 5pm and she had missed it. She about had a heart attack, because in the real world, missing a deadline actually could be the end of the world from a professional standpoint, and there are many situations where you can pout all you want, yet the deadline is a deadline. Career over.</p>

<p>In a funny twist, this lawyer actually was very resourceful, and managed to file her motion on time, because she filed in Honolulu, which as we all know, is several hours earlier than New York. When she called her nemesis to report that she had successfully filed the motion, HE had the heart attack.</p>
