Lucky blog readers, you.

I am friends with one of my grad student supervisees on FB now. Therefore, I cannot share certain work-related things (i.e. irritations) on FB anymore...

Dear Male Undergrad,

You are not cool smacking your chewing gum and reclining in the chair while cutting thin sections of tissue in your sweatpants.

Close your mouth when you chew and put clothes on. Please try not to cut yourself on the really sharp blade.

Also, when I say twice that I want you to summarize two figures and print it out for me, you know, like an assignment? I do expect you to print it out and not just email it to me. It would be nice if you would stop doing whatever the hell you feel like instead of what I ask you to do. I tell you why I ask you to do specific things so that you will not think I am being difficult; so please do not be difficult yourself.

Thanks,
Me.

I'm going to get you a baseball bat with nails and other pointy objects protruding from the end so you can more effectively "communicate" with your students ;-) Hey sometimes that's the only way to get through.

SWEET! :-)

Huh? What's going on with the sweatpants?

Kids these days. Some of 'em just refuse to take direction. Perhaps a nail-studded bat is a good idea after all.

VW, he just rolled out of bed and didn't put on actual clothes apparently. It's an undergrad thing.

Spark, as long as I don't get caught holding the bat.
