The flu has hit my university hard. I’ve got it. Most of my students have it. My email box is filling up with pleading, whining, exculpatory emails. This one just has to be shared.

In it’s entirety … no salutation, no signature …

I should feel more charitable towards this student, I suppose, but I all feel is irritation at the fact that he can’t even be bothered to capitalize, spell, or even write out words. Who does he think he is? Prince?

Geez. The flu makes me cranky.
