Jeez, Bartleby. Get it together!

So I'm working on my Search and Seize assignment for my 2002 class, tracking down quotes and citing them, and I look at the amount of windows I have open...there are 9 new IE windows I didn't open (all popups about how lucrative "working online from home" is for some fictional creeps), and once every ten search pages or so, I have an earsplitting audio-ad telling me that I've won a WalMart gift cert for $1000.00.

This is academia! What is going on here? I'm trying to work!!!

Dumb post, I know. And, I know how it all works. It just still boggles the mind that I'm using Pitt's SSLVPN to get through to this authoritative, ultra-helpful site, and this is what the site gives me! Can't trust anyone these days!

Anyway, I'll mellow out over here...

  1. Josh,
    I had to laugh at your post. Everytime that guy told me I won the Wal-mart gift certificate it scared me to death. That's what I get for working late in the night!
