Heard it through the grapevine

A girl from my alma mater was expelled because of something she wrote on her blog. Her remarks involved a professor, a dead rodent, and the professor's anal region. They were ill-advised, but nothing that should have made anyone fear for the professor's safety; off-the-cuff, we've all said things that we later realize were not wise. Anyway, I feel bad for her; I know that there were a few professors I wanted to hurt during my tenure at school, and I'm sure I said so more than once. I guess I was just lucky that I didn't say it to the wrong person. I'm glad I graduated when I did; that place is turning into a police state.

Merry Christmas all.

My gift to you: a little advice. If you are going to badmouth your professors/coworkers/superiors/spouses/neighbors/etc. be sure to do it in a private blog.
