Well, tomorrow I have a meeting with the academic dean about my grade appeal for the class I failed (already went into that before), so I'm drinking and gaming to take the edge off so that I don't stress myself the **** out tonight. It's only my entire GPA at stake, so no pressure.

I told my boss about it and he said it's the type of agreements Wall Street bankers and oil executives get when they receive $50 million + buyouts.

She's not going to sign it and she's gonna call them and tell them she will if they pay her 2 years salary in cash up front.
Alright, I'm no Wallstreet exec, but that sounds like losing two years - two weeks pay. That sounds like pretty much the worst deal anyone has ever been given since slavery.
