“School of Engineering, Sprig 2011”

Not only is “Spring” spelled wrong, but the year is not even right. This is two slaps in the face because not only did the editor of this PDF (from my Statics class) not care about fixing this ONE typo (the other PDFs were fine), but he or she did not care to even change the year on the PDFs to 2012. Even under new lecturers and administration, nobody bothered to fix the date and typo. Why are people like this. Why. I know engineers are known (not entirely) for poor grammar and spelling and writing and whatever but there is no excuse. I personally know my writing is not the greatest but I like to think that it is okay for blogging (without looking like an idiot) and eloquent enough to be acceptable for every person and some professionals. But now I am going off into tangents. Anyway, at the end of my Rutgers career, which will hopefully be in May 2014, I am going to compile every single typo I have come across that a Rutgers staff or faculty member has made into one photo and email it to the president or whoever is charge of hiring these incompetent workers. The only issue I see here is finding all the typos I have posted across the internet because I know have a tweeted at least 2 and I have probably blogged a couple more on my old blog. Hopefully Twitter implements an “archive” feature before then otherwise this is going to be more difficult than it should be. Here’s to hoping. 

I’ve had this on queue for two weeks because I can never finish anything.

“Upon request of the operator of other authorized person, please vacate these seats for senior citizens, pregnant people, or people with disabilities.”

As far as I know, only women can become pregnant. I guess NJTransit is trying to play it safe and assume men can too. I realize transgendered men break this argument, but how many actually become pregnant and give birth? I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way and people begin to think I am a close-minded person. It is just not too often that your hear or read “pregnant people” as opposed to “pregnant women” and I thought it was a funny find. NJTransit is avoiding a lawsuit in doing so.

I remember watching this Simpson’s episode a very long time ago, and after this scene, I started tearing. The Simpson’s is generally a humorous show, but every now and then, the writers of the show sneak in a bit of reality and forlorness into select episodes. There was always that one kid that never got any Valentine’s cards during grade school, and this scene sums it up.

I really wish I could watch the entire episode right now but I have work in 15 minutes and what are the odds of me finding it on the internet/the episode airing when I get back to my dorm at 2:07 AM.

I have been meaning to make this for a while. Whenever somebody says YOLO, I always imagine this.

During my shift at ARC on Monday night, my coworkers and I heard strange sounds coming from outside the computer lab and figured it was somebody screwing around. About a minute later, a woman comes in and asks “When somebody has a seizure, you just let them be, right?” The answer is yes. You wait until he/she finishes seizing, and make sure he/she is not near anything that could potentially bang against his/her head. Which I had forgotten. Which is a shame to my education and to myself, because I’ve been a NJ State Certified EMT for 2 years now. I didn’t let any of my coworkers know about this because then I would be obligated to treat this person which would end really badly, because I have forgotten nearly everything I learned in EMT School. Thankfully, he seemed to be very lucid after his episode, and the paramedics (because the woman called 911, and not RUPD) arrived quickly and treated just as quickly. I hope he made a speedy recovery and that the seizure is not the beginning of a terrible illness. This post is about how much I suck and how fortunate it is that I am not employed as an EMT.

‘Informatin.” What the fuck is “informatin.” “Informatin” is the fourth typo I’ve found on a Rutgers website and it’s a sorry excuse that some asshole embedded onto the Rutgers Student Accounting Term Bill website. Of all websites. The term bill website. Remind me that I am paying thousands of dollars a semester to receive higher education all while some idiot can’t even spell “information” correctly.

I just really hate typos if it wasn’t already apparent.

Apparently, fat people are now a race. You have been informed.

School isn’t all that needs to be focused on apparently…
