True Tales of Induhvidual
#Mission Statement
-----------

A VP of our company stood up at our company meeting and asked all employees to look over the new website to make sure it was "grammerly correct."

#Executive Decision
-----------

My friend asked to be moved to a cubicle in a quieter place in the office and her manager agreed. A couple of days later, the office manager came by her new cube, distressed. He said that he had really messed up because he gave her a cube that was too big for her level/title in the company. Her cube was for a P-2 engineer while she was only a P-1. The difference in size was only two inches, but still, something had to be done.

A few days later, the office manager returned and said that to fix the problem, my friend would be promoted to P-2 so she would then be in the right size cube.

#There is a moral from this story
-----------

About four years ago we had a multiple choice test for one of our digital design subjects. A friend of mine had no clue in this subject but could clearly see the answers of the person to his left. So he copied them.

At the end of the exam we were informed that there were TWO tests, alternating by row! He had cheated off the wrong test!

But he got a good grade anyway!! Why? Because the person he had cheated off had cheated off the person sitting next to him!

Moral of the story: Two Induhviduals make a right.

#The Economist
-----------

The other day at the gas station, while waiting in line to pay for my gas, I commented to another customer how expensive gasoline had become. Her reply was, "You know, it doesn't really affect me; I always put in twenty dollars every time I gas up."

#The Genius
-----------

I was in a meeting with a manager - one of those meetings where the sole purpose is for her to make a speech and everyone to be impressed - and she showed an example of how the figures would be added up. It became apparent that she had no idea how you add or subtract negative numbers. I pointed out that the result of her first example was wrong. What followed was a lively debate on how you are meant to add or subtract negative numbers. The prevailing opinion was that there wasn't just one correct way of doing it, so all the different manufacturers of calculators went with their own conventions. I was told that my calculator worked differently than hers. (And how many meetings have you been to that included a concurrent test of two calculators?)

The meeting ended with her bemoaning the fact that she wasn't getting any "buy-in" for her idea. A few days later she received, anonymously, a picture of Prof. Stephen Hawking, with the caption, "You must be at least this smart to invent your own branch of math."

#Consistency
-----------

An Induhvidual in my physics class did his math with a pen. He had to use lots of Liquid Paper to cover the mistakes. It was recommended to him that he use a pencil. The next day I saw him covering his pencil marks with Liquid Paper.
