Yeah, kinda pisses me off to come home to this...

I am supposed to be micro-analyzing SE coastal potential at day 6 & 7, but have not even had a chance to look over the 12z runs. This was just from the afternoon, cleared 14 new reports from overnight before I went to work. Please keep the sh!t posts in banter and the next personal attack, even in here, and you will be limited to 5 posts per day till Spring cometh. :)

Wow that's a lot of reports lmao. Winter has everyone crazy. Bring on Spring!!

might tell my professor I could not email my paper in time because ice knocked the power out... believable? 

 

Wouldn't work for me, if you were in my class.  Plus, you've had power for the past week, and you could have done it anytime during that period.  I'm anti-excuses, no matter the reason.  My students know that all assignments are expected by the due date.  Period.  No make-up tests, late submissions, extra credit garbage, etc.

As a former slacker, let me sincerely thank you. I needed more professors and teachers like you. Life has deadlines and requirements and, unlike in school, you don't often even get a lot of time to meet them. People want the moon yesterday. In school, students are asked to give much less over a much longer time period. There's no excuse for late work.

I'm surprised that Forsyth and Guilford county schools didn't go with a two hour delay, especially since the NWS put both counties under a freezing rain advisory.

Some high school kid will end up in a ditch this morning. It don't see the harm in a two-hour delay, but these public education folks aren't necessarily Einsteins either.

Exactly.  I see my class as training ground for "the real world."

Not a good excuse, at all.  You've most likely known about the paper for a couple of weeks.  It was your choice to wait until the night before it was due to write it, and if you lose power, that's not your instructor's fault or problem.
