i had a student throw up on his final exam once. it went all over the place and all over him and all over the table he was at. then he started sobbing. so the entire room of 600 students just hears *hyuck* *sob* and i'm sure everyone is now feeling very confident about the exam.

the course coordinator made me wash the exams off and copy them so he could keep taking the exam :(

lol that sucks

When I worked in a call centre sometimes we would have push up competitions when no one was calling in

Once I had to sleep in the warehouse because I was driving a shipment downtown early in the morning and lived too far away to commute in time. Two others guys had to do the same thing, we played video games in the conference room and went for beer. I miss that job

As a paperboy I shared a corner with another kid. 5 am folding papers before we left for our routes.
He'd always show up either drinking or smoking weed; and most days would pay me $5 to fold his papers, which would take less than 5 minutes. It didn't make any sense because he probably only made $150/month on his route.
I didn't care though; that was some awesome extra $$ as a 14 year old.

some courses are coordinated, meaning there's one person who decides the sections covered and the schedule, writes the exams and the final and chooses homework problems. everyone who teaches the course has to follow this outline.

one semester the coordinator of a course decided that there would be one gradebook for 600 students that everyone would share, so everyone was editing the same excel file.

one student went around to a bunch of different instructors and kept getting points back on an exam because she would erase parts to make them correct and then be like "why didn't i get more points?" she ended up raising her exam grade by like 20 points. but because everyone had access to the book everyone could change her grade but no one knew it had already been changed. she got a B or something when she should have failed because we couldn't provide sufficient enough proof.

My first job was a paperboy when I was about 12. Pretty much any day in the spring, summer, or fall there were fresh cobwebs across the walkways up to people's houses and I'd have to walk right through them. By the time I finished my route I looked like a gossamer-wrapped mummy

our learning support dept was being audited for not keeping adequate records of student IEPs. they've been instructed multiple times to use the dept shared folders, but they always forget how to use them and they'll end up asking each other and they'll go through emails and local disks trying to find the most up to date version of some kid's ed plan. audit time, morons.

Working summers during college I sliced half of the tip of my thumb off on a meat slicer. Chef says "slice that turkey breast" and when I got down to the point where the blade guard wouldn't go any lower, I figured I could just make another pass or two just by moving it with my hand.

Didn't even get a good scar out of the deal, just an oddly angled thumb.

I used to work w a guy that was like 40 doing the same entry level job for the past 10+ years and living with his parents. His life plan seemed like it was to wait for his parents to die so he could inherit the house. He would throw tantrums and slam doors and kick stuff open etc. about every other week or so over seemingly nothing. Once he told me a gross story about a woman pooping in his bed after he had sex with her. I can only assume this happened at his parents house.

i really really REALLY don't understand why people think that shared gradebooks are anything short of a horrid idea. i'm not sure if this person ever got in trouble, but i do think that at least they don't do it anymore. it really stemmed i think from the coordinator wanting to have control over everything (so they get control over everyone's gradebook) but also being lazy (so everyone had control of the gradebook). ugh.


sorry, i think "provide sufficient enough evidence" is sort of a mathematician phrase and i agree it sounds weird/wrong for actual english.
