From Webster's Glossary:

human error < what Shelby Thames calls a "mistake" made by a mid-level administrator who is asked by upper administration to do something bad, though he does so only after the public finds out about it and the whole scheme falls apart.

invictus--i resemble that!

Hell, Malone's doctorate is from USM & he's evidently a professor & department chair. I'm quitting this before I p*ss myself off. "

Now, now, Invictus, the rules change fast around here. Depends on what benefits who. If the USM school colors are changed form black and gold to soylant green, our convience-oriented policies suggest that the school song be changed to this:

Undecided

You say yes
Then it's no
You say you'll stay
Then you go
Your undecided now
So what are you going to do

First you say you do and then you don't
And then you say you will and then you won't
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
You promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well I guess I'll never learn
And I show it

If your gotta heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

First you say you do then you don't
No you don't
And then you say you will and then you won't
No you won't
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

Now you want to play and then it's no
Then it's no
And when you say you'll stay that's when you go
When you go
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

I've been sittin' on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
You promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well I guess I'll never learn
And I show it

If your gotta heart and if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart make up your mind
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

You say it's yes and then it's no
You say you'll stay then you go
Your undecided now
So what are you gonna to do

These are excellent questions.
