We'll Schedule the Meeting Tomorrow, I Swear...

An email blast from NYU that raises a serious question:

Is two hours of pastries and coffee really the best cure for procrastination?

Imagine That

It's 4:02 in Brooklyn and New York.

I'm So Excited!!!: Odd Jobs

Generation Punctuation is at it again, this time adding excitement to the already over-stimulating world of higher education financial aid.

Odd Jobs: Low Expectations

Apparently, someone is unclear on the concept of "minimum." Or "preferred." I really can't tell.

And what are "intermediate-level word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications"? I understand "intermediate...skills," but is the former in reference to Microsoft Works or Notepad? Maybe a potshot at Apple's Pages?

As expected, good writing and proofreading skills are preferred.

Still, it's a nice change of pace to see all the "intermediate" skill requirements after a long day of wading though "superior," "excellent" and other demanding job descriptions.
