eMail

I have two majors (and am considering adding a new minor to the mix). One of my majors is my major major. The other, just something I'm throwing in there to look more important on resumes. Basically.

The major I don't care so much about, I keep getting e-mails to be more active in the student organization. And when I say "keep getting", I mean it's a nearly-hourly thing. It's really driving me crazy, but I can't get off the mailing list without (a) looking like an ass, and (b) losing out on the rare e-mail that is actually useful.

In other e-mail news, we got a mass-mailing from a very high official in the university system. And said official wrote in all lower-case. How does a high-ranking educational official and high-ranking corporate officer (said official is both) think that is a good idea? I expect casual e-mails to be like that, not an e-mail sent to 35,000 people. If a secretary wrote it, said secretary is incompetent.

The minor I am thinking about is Classics. Since I am taking Latin anyway, it would only be two more classes. But one of them would be taught in Latin--books, papers, etc. (!) That might involve more thinking than I would care for.

Britney Spears filed for divorce. I really thought those crazy kids would last (a little longer)...they seemed well-suited to one another. And what a bad week for Kevin...documented here.

There is a k00l program called mailwasher that might assist you in your quest.

Doesn't this mean that this Federline guy now has two ex-wives, both of which have children?

WINNER.

No, Shank, he never married the first one. He has one failed marriage, 4 children by two women; whereas Britney has one annulled marriage, one failed "real" marriage, and 2 children.

5 to 1 her next interview isn't with Barbara Walters, it's with Jerry Springer.
