For some reason blogger has not been allowing me to post the past couple of days, though it has permitted me to publish comments. It has been cranky about letting me comment on other people's posts, too.

End of the term: papers, portfolios, theses. Late papers, portfolios, theses. Whole sets of papers that come in on an afternoon during finals week and are accompanied by requests both that the grade be turned in the same afternoon and that letters to that effect be sent to employers and other schools. Same day, please.

Yesterday one set came in four years late, with a demand that they be done and people in Korea notified that same afternoon.

Korea is waiting.
