kermie_canada is now, like me, a graduate of the University of Calgary. Soon you will know the joys of being pestered on an almost continual basis to donate to the alumni association.

Congratulations cousin. I'm proud of you.

They should know better by now than to pester we BFAs. Only the MBAs can afford to donate....

Are they as good as U of A for Inanity of their phone calls?
"Hello"
"Hello, this is the U of A alumni association phoning to see if you'd like to donate to help us build the new bioscience building."
"I'm a biosci grad student there."
"But you can still donate"
"What part of grad student indicates I have spare money to donate?"
"5$?"
"I just paid tuition.... you don't think that was a large enough donation?"
"Ummm"
"Goodbye."

.....morons.

As my old coworker Chris used to say, "Why would I want to contribute to an organization dedicated to producing people who will be competing with me for jobs?"
