Thinking About Physical And Mental Health

Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I'm thankful that the human resources office is very on their feet about this discrepancy with the HMO.

The hospital says that our health care provider is on hold, but when it was relayed to our human resources and they contacted our liaison, they were told there was supposed to be no problem.

So if there's anything that has to be resolved here, it's between the health care and the hospital.

At least all the receipts are in place, so that there will be no question as to the chance of getting reimbursed.

@@ We also had the meeting earlier (actually it was an evaluation meeting) for the evaluation of the newsletter of the student publication, which was released two weeks ago, and planning for the newspaper.

It's funny how the editor in chief (who, starting the end of the school year, will be chosen by a rigorous selection process that includes providing samples of one's previous work and interview with the dean) said that she has contacts with these nearby schools and their editors, and yet they are complaining before about not knowing how to proceed with their printing.

It was also incredible (as in not credible) how they kept saying they heard from some people that their output was very good.

Wouldn't a more solid measurement of their success be something such as "sold out" copies (they complained about a lot of leftovers)?

Since all their work on the issue was also last minute, they didn't have time to take care of asking for funds from the office of student affairs, and they went for the most expensive (and most convenient) reproduction, in the school.

Also, their editing was only peer-to-peer (no teacher involved) which is why there were still a lot of typographical errors.

Blame the faculty adviser if need be, but the fault falls squarely on the shoulders of the editor in chief.

This hurried effort, of course, is just her overcompensation for the fiasco with the exhibit during foundation week.

If I haven't said anything here about it, the pictures of the unveiling will show that the panel was still blank at that time.

That it wasn't until the next day and with the help of some requirements submitted by marketing students to their teachers that the display was even approaching full. And apparently, some of them were for a contest that wasn't announced to all but only to their friends.

So is there going to be any question why it was the name of their friends in the top three prizes of the art contest announced?

And let's not get into the urgent need they have for social action reporting instead of their primary purpose, which is NEWS. Same with their own complaints about what they think are school policies.

Session 2773 just thanks that it's also the voices of the authorities who are giving their two cents' worth about it. Class dismissed.
