The lady with him said "Amen!"; A student told me the story of his hectic day and then begged me to type up his homework for him - due in a few hours. I declined, even after he offered cash; A young woman called the reference desk. She explained that her class meets in the library, the class final was in 15 minutes and she lives 30 minutes away. She then asked me to go and ask the professor to come to the phone, because she was unsure if she needed to be there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092918.post-78792501252982661862007-09-17T11:12:00.000-05:002007-09-17T11:12:00.000-05:00:-) I got those kind of offers when I worked at a ...:-) I got those kind of offers when I worked at a truck stop in college.

"All expenses paid." Yum. <BR/><BR/>Number one rule (in my book) for public service: Never sit down on a public chair without feeling it first.
