argh.
well... somebody here at work is being set up to be fired. and i'm not entirely sure who. if i took the time to explain the situation, it wouldnt make any sense, so that's all i'm saying for now.
my frustrations are unrelated to this. i still want to vent, but again, time and brevity are not something i have mastered at this point.
and... i just had to purchase the New York Times for the next 9 weeks. my god I HATE this. shouldnt it just be provided in your lab fees? Instead, I have to waste 10 tons of paper to get one article a week. Because it's cheaper. Maybe I'll donate it to the waiting area here at work, so the University can recycle it.

It's not well advertised, but there is a NYTimes eletronic edition you can subscribe to. It's the same paper, just sent to your computer:

Thanks Sean. I already have the online version, but it only lets you go back 7 days. Which means, if you missed it, you're f*cked. We have to write one paper per week on a biology-related article found in the Times, along with providing a clipping or photocopy of the article.
Busywork - the new homework! Give the graders less to grade, and put all the work on the student. 700 people in my section of this class... I wonder if the Times gives a kickback to the profs.
