you're supposed to hand in your essay for the 11am deadline on Friday.
It's 5.30pm, Friday evening, and you're just starting it.
Is there really any point? Or should you just take the 'fail'

I used to do all my essays like a day or two before the deadline, even if it was assigned like 2 months before that. I just work better that way. Also I've received some of the best grades on papers I wrote while drinking. Maybe the words flow as the alcohol flows, idk. Cheap red wine seemed to do the trick.

Does anyone want to hook me up with a couch and/or job? I need to get out of here badly.

Manky, if the rules are the same as they were for me, you can hand it in on Monday and only incur a one day penalty. That'd give you the whole weekend to do it. I'd give it a go if that's the case.

Writing an essay while drunk didn't end well for me, but yeah, the words definitely do flow. I was drinking a local favourite - a caffeine filled tonic wine - the buzz of which briefly made me think I was writing like James Joyce before I went out that night. Next day, deadline day, I read what I'd written - that was a nasty shock. Failed that one, badly.

Aye, that was what my pal said as well. Although we weren't 100% sure. It's done now anyway, no alcohol consumed but plenty of Grade A shit was spewed nonetheless.
Might go and get myself a bottle of the local favourite you speak of to celebrate.

I love close Basketball games.

Yesterday there was 4 OT games, and there's already been a few close games today.

I just got the rest of albums I ordered in the mail today, so I'm going to listen to those while watching basketball.

Can't see this day going badly at all.

For me it always depended on the professor AND you would have to have talked to them in advance or else they wouldn't allow the penalty extensions.


Yesterday at the post office, I was reminded that we live in a post 9/11 world. It's almost like I forgot. So, I left my backpack on a counter to go use a pen from one of the windows on the other side. This lady goes up to one of the ladies working behind the working and alerts her that there is a random bookbag just sitting there unattended. I spoke up quickly and said that it was mines and went to get it. If I didn't say something I felt like the bomb squad would have been called in for a practically empty bookbag. I was kind of curious to see how far it would go but not foolish enough to let it get anymore hectic and have any alerts set off.

The Birthday Message: By RoxyRollah

I was asked today by the food and beverage director to inscribe a birthday message on a cake for a rather large party of 175. Not a problem. I got you, let's add on to the waist deep world of bull**** and ugliness I got called in early for. (I just want to say right here right now, I am already on three full days of overtime. I surpassed my 40 Wed.)

So I start looking for the tools I will need to write what in my mind is going to be a simple happy birthday.... Nope, no tools. Icing no, piping top sizes no, ****. All I have is strange gel topping ****, so when I do desserts for parties I usually use fruit, and creme fresh. (I ended up freezing some 8inch see through, through glass tiles, and writing on it with the gel then freezing it again!)

ANY****INHOO....

In strolls the food and beverage director with the paper containing little more then happy birthday on it, so I think.....

The message reads and I quote, "Happy happy birthday my dear ted, & many many more to come!!"
You ****ing kidding me? Really? Did we have to blow him?

Later as I am writing this after my 4:20 smoke break I look at my partner and say "Mike how about I write happy birthday Lucille Ball on this bitch?"
"Do it! That way when they ask me what happened; I can say I dunno why you mad man eurbody love Lucy!"

:laughing:

This sadly was the highlight of my day. I hate getting dicked down by my job. :mad:

You did not.

Remind me to never go to any restaurant to celebrate important milestones.
Can't trust those wage slaves.
