Surprise raisins in the cookie. Those were supposed to be chocolate chips, damn it!

Oatmeal raisin? If so, please send them to me. I will trade.

It didn't look or taste particularly oatmeal-like. They looked like chocolate chip cookies. Everyone thought they were chocolate chip cookies. Then we bit into them. :/

Elena, do you have any interest in teaching in a prison GED program? I don't know about the rest of the country, but there's always a need here and it pays more than school districts.
- Trish R
Trish: Because my certification is Elementary Ed, I can't do middle, high school or alternative programs for longer than 10 days.
- Elena
Stephen: the teacher is still employed at another school and since I have worked as a classroom aide in the grade level all year the task of reorganizing the materials fell to me. It sucks, especially since I know the new teacher (who is actually a former teacher at the school) will just change everything around anyway.

Well, this is focused at me. I am a complete idiot and didn't take this first semester of college classes serious or...well, who knows what let me rationalize being lazy. Assuming the grades work out how I expect, I can only hope for a strong B. Which is ludicrous since all I had to do was the damn thing. It's pretty bad. Cont. ->
Oh, and I'll be retaking a class because...well, I'm an idiot. (I wonder how that factors in, actually. If I get an A to balance the F out to a C....hmmmm...)

Depending on the school, often times the policy is that if you have to retake a class because you received a D or F, whatever grade you get in the retake will completely replace the original grade, so it will expunge the 1.0 or 0.0 from your GPA calculation. Saved my ass during my early years of college when I had a few classes I didn't take it seriously.

Boom. "If you were enrolled during any semester or session from fall 1988 or thereafter, and you repeat a course, only the last grade earned, not the higher of the two grades, is counted in computing the cumulative and curriculum GPA and for satisfying curricular requirements."
- c.a.j.
I mean, I am damn lucky. I guess I know one class I'll be scheduling for fall semester.
- c.a.j.
That's nice that the grade will be replaced. I mean, it still sucks to have to take it again, but at least it won't kill your gpa.
- Katy S
It's incredibly generous of a school to allow it and man oh man is it ever appreciated by those of us who have to take advantage of that policy.
- Hookuh Tinypants
*runs the math again* Okay, looks like I'll be pretty good but no more fooling around.
- c.a.j.
My school does not run with the grade replacement. :| To this day, failing calculus is keeping my GPA down.
- Colette
One school I attended for only a few semesters also didn't allow for grade replacement. I ended up not transferring any of those units to any later schools I attended. I simply retook the classes elsewhere. I was too afraid of my stellar F in applied statistics ruining everything. (It was a 5-hour-a-week Saturday morning class...I was setting myself up for failure)
- Hookuh Tinypants
Checking through everything from the school's policy to the GI Bill's policy, the main thing I will have wasted is time. I can retake the classes according to the school and my GI Bill will still pay for the retakes. (Of course, I probably should also say I wasted some of that money too since it's not unlimited.)
- c.a.j.
Wow, I can't imagine a school not allowing the grade replacement. Whatever you did most recently would be a measurement of what you most recently achieved. Good luck in fall, caj!
- Spidra Webster
I wish i'd had that option. When I returned to finish undergradyears later it killed my gpa despite good grades that time. Which hit me again when i applied to grad school. The big lesson is: if you're taking a break after bad grades, dont go back to the same place to finish.

Have had surgery scheduled for over a month now. Gave work my time off notice same day as surgery scheduled. HR comes to my manager and tells her that I have to submit an email of all the days I'm requesting off for said surgery. Get an email yesterday stating that our current health insurance will be ending May 31, 2013 and a new (not specified)
Stephen Mack #TeamMomo liked this
health insurance will take effect June 1, 2013. Trouble is surgery is set for June 5, 2013. I called my surgeons office to see if there is ANY way I can push the surgery up so I will still be covered and accepted. Get a new date of May 30th. I let my manager know of changes and she gives me the okay then says we need to ask hr. I also send an email to hr asking how this change in insurance will affect said surgery and if we will still have same insurance company. She responds to me today with the new insurance reps number. Now I'm being told the new surgery date is not authorized and I need to wait to talk to the new rep. New rep has yet to call me...SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure about this, but was told not to prick the same spot/area too often, as you may lose sensitivity in this area over time, so you should try to use different fingers/spots. But please don't quote me on this, as I'm not sure how accurate that is. Janet, is there any truth to that?

Seriously, you may want to check the outlet tube to see if it's clogged. There may be a sensor to kill the cleaning cycle when it detects an outlet/backup problem. (Pure speculation.)
- Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
I agree with removing the standing water first, then check whether the dishwasher is on its own circuit and threw a breaker. Check if there's a GFCI that tripped.

Everything mentioned was checked and everything is fine (no clogs, no thrown breakers, electrical outlet works, etc...) but the dishwasher is still not working. At least it died during the rinse cycle so the dishes were clean, just not rinsed!

They attached their "proof" as a series of PDF'ed e-mail communications that I had allegedly sent. Only one was actually sent by me, and it had nothing to do with the situation that they were dealing with. In fact, it was so bleedingly obvious that it wasn't even remotely related to the problem, I had to check that I wasn't being Punk'd by our procurement department.

I'm known for my ability to administer swift and damning verbal smackdowns in e-mails...something my boss fears on a regular basis and is the reason he asks to see all group e-mails before I send them out. :) Nobody has responded yet.
