As discussed elsewhere, unless you have actually pissed on your own hands, does one imagine there is anything cleaner, in a public lav, than one's own John Thomas?
Thanks. Appreciated.
It is a little difficult for me because I have always seen my role as a seeker of truth (the abstract of science) and a discoverer of Valuble Things, medically speaking (the application of science). It will be a wrench to give all that up. Especially now I am part of a team...
Here is the plan*. We identify the most annoying of the miscreants. I give you my list and you give me yours.
Then we kill them all. Me, your list, you, mine.
And nobody will be able to pin it on us because we have no motive, and no connection with the deceased.
*I have always got a plan...
*A very good level.
If only I could get a fix. Instead I get these sorts of comments:
"We haven't had any issues with other markers"
(This is a lie - they are simply happy with the process of mark adjustment)
"Yours are the largest marks discrepancies"
(This may be true but other marking...
You're right.
I had 5 minutes spare today and peeked at work emails. This reply I wrote concerning 3rd marking of work I marked as one of two 'independent' markers. I gave 52 (which is a 2:2 (lower second class). I wrote four pages of feedback (of course I did, you say). The other marker gave...
I and others have noted the institutionalized cockwomblery in hospital managent that contributes to (the cover up and suppression of whistleblowing in) negligence and malpractice situations.
Here is an email I got this morning WRT teaching of medicine:
"We are pleased to invite you to the...
I remember when Andrew Neil edited the Sunday Times, he was always banging on about sunrise industries (dot.tec) and sunset industries (anything nationalised).
Dear old Hislop at Private Eye referred to said shitehouse newspaper as the Sunset Times :LOL:
Just to add, I still smirk when I think of the recent concept of 'winning' research grants (you apply for money to the MRC or BHF to do potentially fife-changing research and you either 'win' the money or they tell you to '**** off') from an acquaintance who is now getting her proposals turned...
Where I work (a Russell Group university), we employ a department of support staff to set up and curate degree course unit web pages (that contain PDFs of lecture notes, videos, support material etc) together with an online submission portal for students to submit coursework. Meanwhile we have a...
So pleased I have my own office.
Pleased, mostly, for the poor fekkers who don't have to share my space and suffer my swearing, chuckling and otherwise emoting about the asinine and inane *****bollocks shitehoutse rubbish memos and half-baked meaningless unimplementable diktats I get in my...
Lol!
When are you going to retire? Life could be your oyster after that. I still feel I have enough vim to have a great time. I'm 61 now, and could retire on a full pension (just checked out my numbers today, as it happens)....but....
The silly day job we do must have some...
We are not. We use Turnitin, but if the original has no online identity the fraud will be missed.
That said, my 'senior' colleagues don't know how to use turnitin....
My simple solution is to set coursework that is unique to me - 'write an essay on drug X', no chance. 'Explain why specificity...
Update. Hauled in for a bollocking from senior management next week for not letting this go, and for questioning other stupidity (that potentially damages students' prospects). Mountains of subterfuge 'we followed the rules'...'it is only you who has an issue'...and made worse by more utter...
