This is cody lathe. i wasnt on the ballot beacuse i was unable to run for an office for this semester but i am planning to seek an appoinment to a position in the fall semester. I was still hard at work on the elections through the whole thing and so becuase of that and the rest of our volunteers the election had no issues in itself. And im still gonna be closely tied to them the whole time. Keep an eye out for me guys.<br />-cody lathecody lathenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-4908357415013137272009-04-27T12:59:00.000-07:002009-04-27T12:59:00.000-07:00What's a Director of Leg Affairs?

Someone who checks the pilosity level of the students's lower limbs?<br /><br />I'm sure next time the students from ARC will follow Interrobang's advice and proofread everything. It's a nice result, nonetheless.Joãonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-14540775476170357112009-04-27T09:01:00.000-07:002009-04-27T09:01:00.000-07:00This kind of thing is why people like me, who make...This kind of thing is why people like me, who make a not-inconsiderable portion of our income from proofreading (it isn't my main gig, but it's a healthy sideline) get so annoyed with people who consider that proofreading isn't <I>real</I> work. (In this case, "not <I>real</I> work" generally means that our clients don't quite realise that a good proofreading job takes time, and so demand ridiculous turnaround times -- as if we're supposed to drop everything because their job is so important, which gets even funnier in light of the second complaint, which is that our clients seem to resent the hell out of paying anything like a decent wage for proofreading services. The proofreaders I know are lucky to get $5/page, and clients frequently beg for "discounts.")<br /><br />Support your local proofreader today!Interrobanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073177798747299275noreply@blogger.com
