   Actually, most professors here are adjuncts. So far all of them wanted   
   copies of my PDFs! I scored quite a few brownie points.   
   Not only that, buy there's this girl whose parents said they would pay for   
   half of a car - she had to save the rest. Thanks to my efforts she can   
   get her car a semester early. I discussed it with my boss and got   
   permission to price out a certified '09 Ford Fusion SE with AWD! We're   
   giving it to her at invoice - with some help from me. She knows I'm   
   making the deal. She takes delivery on Friday.   
   I am soooooooo in!
