Alumnus

Ummm, weird. Last night I got a call from the university I graduated from. They said that they were updating records, etc but please - they were begging for money. I loved my school, well, I loved my program so if I will be giving money to anyone, it will be my program and not the school at large. 

I wanted to ask how their fundraising efforts were going because if they're calling me they have got to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. I think we need a few more years before we start cranking out prestigious (i.e. wealthy) alumni. We'll get there!

Go Wolverines!

That reminds me of the time the same institution gave me a letter saying as a full time employee, I would not be getting the cost of living raise this year (again), and in the same packet gave me a (very expensive looking) glossy envelope and pamphlet explaining the many ways I could give money to the institution. In the portion where they asked how much my gift to the institution would be, I wrote "You can have ALL of my raise for the whole year." (Too bad I was too chicken to send it.) :)
