The Semester Goes Out Not With a Bang, But With a Whimper
I was simply commenting to the Unknown partner however this semester was ending going therefore well compared to previous ones - my student managed investment fund presentation was done every day sooner than usual, my principles category was previous schedule, and my tests were at the start of exam amount instead of close to the top.
I ought to have famous - ne'er say things like that. Even in jest.
It angers academe - the patron divinity of all professors (also called "she World Health Organization makes professors' work go pear-shaped at the worst attainable time")
So, what happens? i used to be cutting and pasting things from the grades programme for my principles category (it has four elements, all on separate tabs of the worksheet). Somehow, I not solely deleted the grades for all 3 exams, I traced the sheet to a file name that overwrote the backup (I perpetually save the programme to a brand new file name when every update). when finding out over associate hour, I finally found associate email backup copy i might created that had everything however the ultimate test grades.
The morals of the story:
Make multiple backups of your grading programme (and anything of crucial importance) each time you alter it.
Never, ever say "things square measure going well this semester". It angers academe (and she could be a vindictive "rhymes with witch").
On a additional pleasant note, a few of bright spots this week:
looks like i am going to have a paper submitted among a few of days. It will not get checked out by the journal editor for a few of weeks attributable to the vacation, however it will be off my table. Since (as my joint author says) "if we do not submit this one presently, we'd higher begin saving for its faculty education", that is an honest feeling.
A joint author abreast of Maine that she had a revise and feed back that needs her to try and do some tests that she may do herself, however would rather source. Since I will simply get laid with a week's work more or less, she asked Maine to be a joint author. So, for a little of labor, it's like i will be able to doubtless have another hit.
We've been creating do at the Unknown home with a seven-year previous TV (an previous cathode-ray model). we have a tendency to simply got our new TV stand (a terribly nice corner model) and can shortly be obtaining a brand new forty six in. flat panel model. Ah, the dominion of Thingdom includes a new subject.
In any event, here's desire a Merry Christmas (or no matter else you decide on to celebrate this point of year) to all or any my readers (all 3 of them).
It's finally feeling like Christmas within the Unknown home - we have Christmas songs enjoying on the radio, Winnie the Pooh (the Unknown Son's (a.k.a. Knucklehead's) recent fascination) on TV, and i am within the middle of creating up a quadruple batch of pumpkin soup on the stove A double batch are for our neighborhood party tonight and another is for the large family get-together at our place on Christmas Day. therefore the place sounds and smells like Christmas.
mythe divinity created Maine save my grade programme to the incorrect name
