Today at the beginning of Math/Stat 414, the teacher realized she was using the wrong .ppt and had to go back to her office to get the right one, so I decided to make a phone call I had tried to make on Friday but wasn't able to. I'm thinking about minoring in music, so I wanted to find out if I could get out of any of the courses since my schedule is already pretty packed with my Math Major. So I called the director of the music minor and said,
"Hey, I had some questions about the music minor and I'm trying to talk to the director of the music minor, and I thought this was the number - could you help me with that?"
And he said, "Well first of all, never address a professor initially with 'hey'. Because when you go out into the business world and address your boss with 'hey', he'll fire you on the spot. Okay, got it?"
I was so taken aback. I didn't know what to do. I've never had anyone be such a colossal and self-righteous d-bag to me in my life and I had no idea how to react. I sat on the phone in silence for a second considering what to do; I thought about hanging up. Somewhat sadly, I decided to talk to him and even gave him my real name, so I can't be a jerk to him.
In retrospect, I should have said "Get the f**k over yourself! Alright, peace out homeboy."
Peace out homeboy.
