Marge, you might want to put your stomping boots on.

Whee! I finally got all my grades back! And I did awesome! Plus I raised my cumulative GPA a point, too. Yay.

In other news, work continues to be less than fun. The receptionist is out, so I'm stuck on the switchboard, with the added joy of all the holiday mail coming in. On the plus side, there are students around to help me out. I have MINIONS, guys! So when I find difficult to sort mail, I put it back and let them deal with it. Mwahahaha.

Also, an angry German grandmother called to give someone an earful about expelling her grandson. I was kind of amused.

However, by far the most horrifying thing I've seen is the new sign in the bathroom:
If you sprinkle when you tinkle
Please be neat, lift up the seat!


I DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT IS A WOMEN'S BATHROOM. WHY, GOD.

In conclusion: why is LJ so sped in internet explorer (besides the obvious explanation that IE is evil)?

haha, I've seen that sign before, except the last two lines were Be a sweetie
and wipe the seatie
, which makes a lot more sense.

IE is evil, that's why I installed Firefox.

and I just noticed what your title says. Bring your computer to Starbucks tonight, I'll wear my giant boots and stomp your grades all to bits. =D

Yes, that's the version I learned at summer camp. I don't see what lifting up the seat would improve - wouldn't it just make even more of a mess?

Define "point". Because raising cumulative GPA by .1 is nice, but by 1.0 is a little strange (if welcome).

.01, actually. Obviously I am meant to be an English major.

yeah, at this point I think it's impossible for us to raise our GPA by a whole point. Unless you're taking like, a ridiculous number of credits and get A's in everything.

which would be impossible, unless you were a superhuman.

or had a timeturner.

Also, I definitely think that due to the fact that chem clearly hates me, I should be allowed to join in the stomping.

Hey, you *chose* to be a chem major. Marge's stomping rights are a longstanding tradition that goes back to high school when we had mostly the same classes.
