    - you mean from the student asking for the morning section? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:58 2
      - No, the "M". :) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 20:58 1
        
        oooh, didn't even see that! Someone needs a little lesson on being respectful. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:00
  - Your mom e-mailed a professor for you... in college...Wow. Need to grow up much? - MDH Aug 18, 20:54 4
    - And that's it, the second section got added last week, so the only time left was MW 6pm-9pm. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 20:56 3
      - life is unfair. yadda yadda. Do they think you like teaching one morning and one night? I'd think it sucks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:57 2
        
        When I was a senior the only section of a class was Mon 7-9:40pm talk about buzzkill - MDH Aug 18, 20:58 1
        
        One summer I missed a scheduling meeting and was stuck teaching lab at 8 am on Saturdays. Seriously. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:00
  - How old is the kid? 14? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 20:53 6
    - That's not bad at all, as these letters go. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:54 5
      - I mean, is the kid 14, or is the mom writing a note for her 24 year old? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 20:54 4
        
        The kid is a college student. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:56 3
        
        And a *senior*. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:01 2
        
        Holy crap. -- nm - kelly Aug 18, 21:07
        
        DUDE! -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:03

    - I love how ST crushed the mom in like 2 minutes flat -- nm - MDH Aug 18, 20:55 3
      - I am not sure of your intent, but you come off as being a little sarcastic, which I don't appreciate. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:13 1
        
        oooh, what'ya gonna do, write him a letter? -- nm - Max Aug 18, 21:16
      - The best thing parents can do for kids in college is nothing. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:02
    - that's what I thought as well. -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 20:53 1
      - "If you're going to have another class, it should be at a comparable time, not one in the morning and one at night." - loosilu Aug 18, 20:55
  - nice. what did you say to the kid? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:52 13
    - Here. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 20:55 12
      - don't need the thread. Really you didn't even have to go there. You don't need to solve her work problem. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:56 11
        
        Here was the response I just sent. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 20:58 10
        
        Way more than you should have. But at least you passed the buck. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 20:59 9
        
        The more I think about it, the more sure I am that I shouldn't have written anything. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:00 8
        
        I would not have. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:01 7
        
        you've potentially opened up a can of worms by giving all that info, fwiw. - loosilu Aug 18, 21:02 1
        
        Sure, but not for me. :) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:02
        
        Yep. I'm totally defensive. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:01 4
        
        also, you gave her specifics to argue. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:03 3
        
        And if she does, you know what I'm going to do? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:03 2
        
        nothing? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 21:04 1
        
        :) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 18, 21:05
