Office parking lot etiquette

Arm. Sorry... the down-side of multi-tasking. The funny thing is that the following year, just after he got the cast off, I fixed the brakes on his bike, and he went over the handle-bars then next day (because the brakes were no lonbger dangerously loose) and he re-broke the same arm...

Most of my best stories come from the 6 semesters I spent at Rennselaer. But I finally got my degree from Western New England College in Springfield, ma. After spending 4 semesters on Dean's List (3.5+ GPA), I got a 0.9 followed by a 1.0 GPA in my last 2 semesters due to my allowing myself to get consumed by a special section of an Engineering Design course where we designed and built a robot for the US First Competition (we came in 4th of 50 teams, BTW).

Like hatman here is a tale from my own college days.

A fellow student who usually got on everyones nerves was late in the elctrical machines lab whilst the rest of us went home for the day. It had been snowing and cold for a few days by now and the main routes around the car park had been gritted and were clear. However the actual parking spaces were still covered with compacted snow. It only took two or three of us to rotate his small car through 90 degrees and push it, on the slippy floor, tight up against the kerb. With cars still parked on either side it would have taken him ages to extract it.

So long ago now I can't remember the resultant conversation the following day.
