So yesterday I logged into my first grad school class and found that there was a lot of work to do. Well, there wasn’t very much actual work to do towards the program, but lots of work to do to set myself up for the class. There’s a wiki, a normal login account, and a [...]

wrong right of way

Hey lady on the cell phone, the bus driver honked at you because: He didn’t want to kill you while trying to make the turn. You weren’t paying attention. You decided that you needed to walk across the street at a crosswalk in front of a bus full of people because you had the right [...]
