Month: January 2004

Inclement weather has caused Penn State to delay scheduled activities at University Park, including classes, until 10:00 a.m. Classes which begin at or after 10:00 a.m will be held as scheduled. Employees previously identified as performing essential services should report as regularly scheduled unless advised otherwise by their supervisor.

That’s my story, anyway, and I’m sticking to it. A genuine snow day would have been nicer, but with both my phone and internet connection on the fritz, maybe it’s just as well that I’m finally at work.

Three questions in my referrer logs this morning, two of which I think have already been more than adequately answered. (If you don’t study, folks, you’ll have no one but yourself to blame when you fail the upcoming quiz.) Anyway, the questions are:

  1. what does an ichthyologist do?
  2. how much money do a ichthyologist make? and
  3. what is the typical day is like being a bank teller?

Leaving certain minor grammatical quibbles aside for the moment, the answers for the first two are as follows:

  1. studies fish; and
  2. not “very much at all”, at least according to Mr. Kilgannon

As for the last…well, I can tell you what the dull life of a city stockbroker is like, but that’s about it. Do we have any bankers in the audience?
