A rather humourous exchange...

Ah, the joys of being a mature student. The things you can get away with...



This is an email trail that has gone on over the past couple of days between one of my professors and me.

I started with:

Hello! I hope you're having a relaxing "spring" break.

I've just realized that I took the assignment that you handed out before the midterm, folded it up, put it in my pocket and subsequently washed it.

It's really clean now. And fairly illegible.

Do you have any spare copies that you can fax, email or that I can pick up by any chance?

Then he responded with:

Greetings Gina (aka IWM),

You are, if my memory serves me well, in the 2212 class. Past this point my memory fails me somewhat. Can you remind me what the individual was, as I can't remember which case I handed out to your class. If I have it electronically, I can then attempt to forward a copy on to you. If I don't, we'll see if we can find some other arrangement.

Cheers,

PS - it is probably not the best thing to inform your professors, esp. in print, that you don't intend to check spelling and grammar...(picture happy face emoticon here indicating my comment is only semi-serious)



then I responded with:

I apologize, the snow has addled my brain. I am in the 2212(05) class and the assignment was the Brady Training Program. But luckily I will be meeting with my group in the next day or so and I will be able to get a copy then.

I apologize for bothering you when I was able to find the solution myself, and I apologize for being a bit of a dunderhead and not removing my auto signature - the one that should not be sent to people in positions of authority or those that should garner other miscellaneous forms of respect. You'll note it is removed now, and I *have* indeed done a spell check.

and he just responded with:

Greetings Gina (aka IWJFAT),

Glad you can get the assignment as Brady is not available in electronic format (although apparently it is available in laundered form...). I must add that your latest message displays one of the finest examples of spell-checking that I have ever seen. (*) (**)
