School Makes It Official

The $200 million Bush Library and Wingnut Policy Center will sit smackdab on the west side of campus where all those nice people used to live in the condos they thought they'd own for life (ha!).

Presumably the main building will include a porch where the ex-prez and his pals Heckuvajob Brownie and Trent Lott can sit in rockers, waving at the car-cars.

Next year's newest undergrad majors: Self-Delusion and Extreme Narcissism.

Prof,

The library is planned to be on the east side, not the west side of campus. Putting it on the west side of the campus (next to Highland Park United Methodist Church and the theology school) probably seemed a tad over the top, even for Dubya. Also, everyone knows Brownie and Trent Lott can't wave at the cars since there's that huge retaining wall on the eastern border of the campus along Central Expy (and what is it about these conservatives and wall building anyway?) that keeps the highway sound down and other undesirables from looking in on SMU and University Park.

I'm proud that my beloved alma mater will house the Preidential Library. I like it even more since it is just one more thing for all of those people out there that hate SMU to get upset about. Fuel to feed the bitterness fire that burns within Prof. and her other malcontent cronies. I will never understand where the bitterness towards SMU comes from, but to each his own I guess. I just think Prof. and her disciples need to relax. Go get drunk or laid or play golf or tennis or something. Life is short. Enjoy it.

XOXO,

hey 2.7 - not all of us are so lucky (?) as to live in a delusional fantasy land in which our country can do no wrong and everything can be fixed by getting drunk or playing golf. it might be hard for you to wrap your mind around, as it has probably shrunk from listening to bill o'reilly and reading ann coulter, but i beg you to try to understand.

Well Anonymous, I would beg you to make your responses to my post somewhat relative to what I actually wrote. Further, your choosing just to take an angry tone with me kind of helps to prove and reiterate my point. Further, I have never watched O'Reilly for more than 5 minutes at a time and I have never read anything by Ann Coulter. In fact, I might even vote for Barack.

However, I wonder if since the Bush Administration is apparently the root of you and many other malcontents frustrations if you are all really expecting that Barack or Hillary or whoever is elected will turn our country into a Bush-less utopia where you can all stop bitching about everything and acting like someone is peeing in your Cheerios at all times?

You really should accept my advice and go do something to relax. If you can't get sex and don't booze, golf, or play tennis maybe you can go do some yoga or draw an anti-Cheney cartoon, or garden or something. I'm all about to each his own.

Have a great day. Try to let yourself live a little. Just put Bush and those obnoxious BMW driving frat guys and all those other bad things out of your head for a few minutes.

Best of luck,
2.7

unrelated to Dubya's Liberry, but something TPP may find amusing, given her disdain for a particular punctuation:

The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 7, 2008

The Back-of-the-Envelope Design Contest

... Now that the George W. Bush era is almost over, the world needs a place to archive the legacy of the 43rd president. That place will be Southern Methodist University, in a building designed by Robert A.M. Stern. The building will probably cost $500-million.

We thought that Chronicle readers would have their own ideas about how that building should be designed, and we invited people to send in designs on the backs of envelopes. About 120 people sent in sketches that were good, bad, serious, humorous, abstract, or really angry. Their designs took the form of toilets, bunkers, crosses, and W's, some crudely drawn and some very elegant. A sampling of those designs is displayed on these pages. ...

A sad day for my alma mater. Forever, my university will be linked to the President who vetoed a bill outlawing torture. Whopee!

And the fact that anonymous can't fathom why SMU is the but of so many jokes is, well, one of the reasons that it is the but of so many jokes. If the rich, privileged elite that seem to dominate the student body were a bit more self aware, and less self absorbed, I think our reputation would be a lot better.

as an SMU alumn. I WILL NEVER GIVE ONE MORE CENT TO SMU. This is a tragedy. Bush deserves impeachment and jail time for war crimes against humanity, not the most expensive library in history.

The inauguration of the library will be a sad day for Dallas, a sad day for SMU and a sad day for the country.

等類推」「姐妹相處」篇酒店姐妹們會不會難相處啊!?和其他公關互動,會不會很恐怖?許多人受到媒體或戲劇的誤導,以為八大的姐妹都很難相處,其實不然!就像一般公司酒店薪資行號,沒什麼不同,原因如下:1.大家已成年,不會像小時候那般不懂事。2.為了賺錢解決經濟壓力,應付客人都來不及,哪有多的心思搭理妳。3.大家都是短暫過客,反而心寬不會計較。(離開這行後,誰還會想聯絡!)4.現在換店是稀鬆平常,今天妳是資深,明天可能變成新進,酒店業就那麼大的圈子,時常會相遇。『有道是,做人留一線,日後好相見。』5.換立場來說,若妳是老鳥,妳也不會無聊到去欺負菜鳥。6.假使有難相處的公關,相信其他公關也會向店家反應,店家就會約束該公關。7.向經紀人反應,對店家施壓,限期該公關改善態度,否則立即換店。8.一家店內都有同經紀公司的同門師姊,都會一起照顧妳,之後換妳也會照顧新進公關。9.人的互動是相對,平常笑臉迎人,相信其他人對妳也是有好感。術語篇各行各業都有其專業酒店當日領術語(行話),以下為酒店常用術語,在酒店工作節奏快,所以表達必須精準與快速,並非刻意讓業外聽不懂。在酒店上班的角色眾多,各自崗位上負責不同業務,所以衍生的術語,有時也會令人莞爾一笑。姐妹們在酒店打工,多少了解其他人員的術語,也是對自己多一層保護!△紅字:生理期。△上檔/下檔:到職/離職。△一檔:一星期之意,目前都會區酒店的計算薪資以【檔(一周)】為單位。△節數:時間的計算單位,通常以10分鐘或15分鐘算一節。 (現主流以10分鐘為1節,1小時為6節)△訪檯:公關原在A包廂酒店公關藝名服務,暫借3~10分鐘不等,到B包廂向其他客人打聲招呼,之後再回原A包廂。△跑檯:兩桌以上客人同時坐同一位公關(目前都會區的酒店較少)。 △點檯:指定某位公關(一般以多加2節or3節計算)。 △卡檯:排換其他公關。△看檯:公關到包廂內讓客人選擇。△止檯:等同於卡檯。△轉檯:公關從正在服務的A包廂,轉往另一間B包廂。△冰檯:如某公關時常無法配合公司合理政策(工作態度不佳),導致業績幹部或大班,不想也不敢帶上檯(怕因此流失客人)。△打槍:行政人員帶公關讓客人挑選,而客人拒絕,但再排換其他公關。△快歌:指公關在包廂內點快節奏的歌曲來炒熱氣氛。△框:買時段到底的意思,一般以7小時計算(12點以前買到6點,12點後買到7點,2點過後最少買足4小時等等)至於"框"這段時間內,可以在店家包廂繼續唱歌或外出陪客人吃飯,看電影...等等。△解框:除非客人要有充分理由,才可讓店家解除原本【框】的消費,以保障公關權益。△大框:買足公關一整天的節數,一般以10小時計算(可不用進店家打卡報班)。△全場:等同於大框的意思。△打卡框:也算是大框全場的一種,不同的是必須進店家打卡才起算時間,因此會比外全鐘數酒店上班心得較少。△小框:買足4個小時。△四出三回:小框至少4個小時,在場內消費計算為4小時,若帶公關外出吃飯等,3小時就需讓公關回店家。△進場:公關帶客人進到店裡消費。△進全:公關帶客人進場消費還框全場。△放生:客人在買足鐘點前,提早讓公關離開。(如買到4點鐘,但2點提前離開,時段照算到4點鐘。)△外出回報:一般為保護姐妹們安全與避免爭議,外出時須撥打3通電話回報店家行政。※定點回報:「如目前和王大哥在高家莊吃米苔目。」※客離回報:「如陳董喝多已送他坐車先走。」(一般是客人原買定時段未到,當客人面前回報店家,避免【放生】爭議。)※安全回報:通知店家已完成,是否要回場加班或直接返家休息。△當日領(隔日領):讓公關領當日(隔天)薪資.△訂桌:公關要負責業績壓力(目前全台北市幾乎都取消"訂桌"的制度)△擋簽:此術語為店家對幹部,主要為該業績幹部許多簽單未回,店家在未回簽單前,禁止該幹部再出桌消費的措施。△滿包:現場客滿無空包廂。△巡包:外場行政人員巡
