RE:[tips] Let the Countdown Begin

2010-12-18 Thread Pollak, Edward 
The "light up tracing board" to which my wonderful daughter, Sara, refers is 
her old Barbie Doll Illuminated Tracing Desk. For many years I would use it to 
grade multiple choice exams rather than shlepp across campus to drop them off 
at the computer center, have them run through the grading machine, and then 
have to go back to pick them up hours later.

Alas, the Barbie Doll Tracing Desk has gone the way of all flesh (and plastic). 
Besides, we now have a grading machine in the psych department so I no longer 
need Sara's Barbie doll accessory.

As for Michael's suggestion that my replacement play bluegrass... 
we actually do have one candidate who's learning the banjo. Of course, I had to 
advise him that playing the banjo is not considered a plus in most employment 
settings. Indeed, Mark Twain once (allegedly) defined a gentleman as someone 
who knows how to play the banjo but doesn't.

Congratulations, Ed. Ooh, and what's a light up tracing board? Can I call 
"second dibs" on it (whatever it is)?
