Call me a jerk........

......but yesterday I decided to mess with my Masters of Accounting (MACC for short) classmates in my econ class. As you know (or may not but now you do) accountants are creatures of habit. They don't like change. They like things to be the same everyday. Accountants are just boring people. Now in my class we don't have assigned seating but over the semester everyone has kind of found ageneral area in the room where they feel comfortable, occasionally changing rows and seats, but nothing is set in concrete. Except for the accountants. To give you an idea of how uptight they can be, on the first day of class (THE FIRST DAY!!!)one of them had put her backpack behind a seat and then left the room. While she was out someone came and sat where she left her backpack. There were other seats open and while a normal person would just move to an open seat, she proceeded to go up to the professor and tell him that someone stole her seat. He just shrugged and went back to what he was doing.

Over the semester the 6 accountants (5 of which are women) have pretty much set up one row/camp as their own and they all sit in the same spot everyday. They set up their desks with their laptops, 7 notebooks, non fat yogurt, sliced apples and baggies of grapes. I was wondering the other day what would happen if someone messed up their row. So I did. Adrienne (a former accountant recently converted to the MBA) and I decided to take the two ringleaders seats and view the aftermath. Adrienne heard one of them say "So do we just have to find a different seat?". Luckily for them one of the accountants was gone and they were all able to fit onto the row with 5 seats, but they were not happy.

NEXT WEEK: We don't have class until after Thanksgiving but when we get back Adrienne and I have a plan for the next wrench in the cogs. We're recruiting other students to help and we're going to take up a few seats on their main row as well as the one they transplanted to so they can't all sit together. Someone might go postal but it will be worth it. Just look at it like we're helping them break out of their shells.

Zombies

Being the time of year that it is I thought that I should share some useful tips on how to survive a zombie attack.

Part I

1. Avoid graveyards
2. If you're running from a zombie and trip and fall, get back up and run. Don't turn around and watch because you will get caught and eaten
3. Zombies can open doors so lock them
4. Zombies run like they're drunk so you can most likely out run them
5. Screaming won't stop them
6. They don't like fire (if you have a flame thrower it is a plus)
7. Zombies eat flesh. My guess is that the less you shower the worst you taste and therefore are less likely to be eaten.
8. You need to destroy the brain. This can be done in a number of ways
a. shoot them in the head
b. hit them in the head with one of the following
- baseball bat
- cricket bat
- crowbar
- tire iron
- shovel
- golf club
c. Cut of the head
- axe
- samurai sword
- Husqvarna 570 chainsaw
9. If someone is dead you need to burn the body to make sure they don't turn into a zombie.
- Napalm
- gas
- Malotov cocktail
10. If you know someone that has been bit use them as bait to lure the zombies into a trap. Then kill them first cause they'll be mad you used them as bait.
11. Never be in the back of a group. You'll be the first to get caught.
12. Get out of the city where zombies like to stay
13. Don't go into abandoned buildings
14. Lock car doors
15. Stay away from windows

I have an Econ midterm to study for but I will finish this ASAP

Lows and Highs

Low: Broken wrist with hard cast

High: I have an instant club for the next 3 weeks in case I get in a fight
High: I have something to draw on when I get bored
High: I now have a good reason to wear snap up shirts instead of button up shirts
High: Whoever thinks that showering with a garbage bag on their arm hasn't tried it
High: Immediate conversation piece
High: I now have an excuse for misspelling words
High: lkjsadfojas
High: People might think I'm tough
High: I now longer take being able to scratch an itch for granted
High: Drawing on my cast is like getting a tattoo that I can take off if I don't like it
High: I'm not wearing lace up shoes for 3 weeks
High: If I trip and fall I'm not going to rebreak my wrist with my cast on. I can fall all I want now.


Clearly the pros outweigh the cons in this situation.

Mississippi Wrangler

Here's to you Brett. After 472 touchdown throws, 277 games played, 9,405 pass attempts, 5,805 completions, dozens of Wrangler commercials and 2 botched retirements you are now the first quarterback to beat all 32 NFL teams. 4 days shy of your 40th birthday none the less. Now the question is at what cost. You can never show your face in Wisconsin again (having lived in the midwest I don't know if that's the worst thing in the world). This would be the equivalent of Brian Johnson winning the Sugar Bowl and then transferring to BYU to play. Pure blasphemy. But the Vikings are loving it. They're 4-0 for the first time since 2003 and a potential Super Bowl contenders. But.........Wisconsonians and Cheeseheads everywhere hate him. Life can be bittersweet.

What to do?

North, South, East or West. So many directions to choose from for fall break.
