    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    end-of-the-semester student questions

    posted Wednesday, 6 May 2009

    Hi, I haven’t been able to make it to class the last couple of weeks. Can you just tell me what I missed?

    I know you said we should do research and all for our projects, but mine is mostly opinion. Is that ok?

    I’m really not good at proofreading. Can I just get you to proofread my paper for me?

    Ummm, no, no, and no.

    I love how the word “just” functions in the first and third questions as a kind of minimizer, like the student isn’t really asking for something outrageous.
