Hate Mail

(Updated as much as you want it to be)

Misguided girl who doesn't understand the nature of the essence of man

Hey Jerkface!
Have fun on your Man's Night tonight. I'm pretty sure it will only be kind of fun because there aren't going to be any girls there and girls make everything better. Times 10.
Girls Rule.


Gavin's e-mail to me (uncensored)

Push up fans from across the globe showed up at the institute Wednesday night to see Capital Wardians face off in the true test of strength...The Push-Up contest. The contestants were Dane "Big Hurt" Hurt, Tom "is never" Wright, Eric "I eat push-ups for breakfast" Hueber, and Gavin "Gavin" Gee. Some naysayer thought the old age and obesity of some of the contestants would keep the match to under 3 minutes. But to prove that the old men can still compete with the best little league soccer teams the brutal match went for a grueling 26 min. In the end Eric "you call that a contest" Hueber was named the champion followed by Gavin "I'll get you next time, Gadget!" Gee. After carefully reviewing the tapes Tom "that's how we do them in relief society" Wright was disqualified for doing push-ups that weren't in accordance with the '05 Munich convention. For all the pusher uppers who didn't get a chance to compete keep your ears to the street and start preparing for the Jan '08 championships!

From Scott to Advisor:

Hi (anonymous),

Thank you for your reply. This news is very disconcerting, and I am sorry you are the one having to deal with the frustration at this juncture--especially considering it has been others who have been dropping the ball up until this point.

As such, I will avoid detailing the 20+ emails and phone calls I have made this semester in order to get these credits processed, but I will say that the transcript arrived the first week in October and I was told after meeting with Josh Rucker they would be processed within two weeks (it has since been 8+). I should also mention that graduating next semester will not be an option that can be entertained as I commence employment at Caterpillar in Peoria, Illinois on January 29th. Regardless, I'm confident we will be able to sort this out and would be happy to meet with you on Monday at 2:30 p.m.

As for the Global Marketing Management class, the single listed course was actually split into two separate courses (a marketing analysis class and a business simulation class). At the WU, the exact GMM course breakdown gives credit for two courses, collectively meeting for a total of approx. 90 contact hours. As per the method 15 contact hours = 1 credit, the marketing dept. approved the course as both MKT 372.4 and MKT 374. This was subsequently approved by all other necessary authorities both before the course was completed and after the credits arrived this fall (i.e. Dept. Chairs, Josh Rucker, etc.)

Again, I apologize that you and I are paying for the sins of others right now and am sorry for any perceived castigatory tone in this email (It's not directed at you at all. I'm just a bit incredulous and disappointed with some players in this bureaucratic process). Though a bit flustered, I'm not worried in the slightest and will be attending graduation with friends and family next Sunday, as I know we will be able to get the problem resolved in a satisfactory and expeditious manner early next week.

Cordially,

--
Scott Gee
