I have just handed in a 2000 word essay which i pulled an all nighter for. I am not proud of the fact that i had to pull an all nighter, but i am proud of the essay. Yet that is not what i wish to talk about.
When i went to hand in the essay at the school of Geo. soc, and pol office (on the 5th floor of a sky scraper) i had forgotten that it was the due date for all dissertations as well- hence a line that meant it was 15 min before i saw the front of the line. I then realised that i did not have a cover sheet for my essssay (i had printed the Geo not politics cover sheet) . The man in fron of me had the same issue and the secretary told him to go to the politcs common room (located 5 min walk away in another building) to get one. I the approached and asked the same question.
Thankfully she handed one over to me. Why may you ask? well when i was enroleing i chatred with the secretarial staff for about 3 hours of the 6 hour ordeal and firstly knew their name by the end of it. but the next day i bought them a box of chocolate as way of saying thanks. This in turn has made my life a lot easier with them. Hence today has been a lot more stress free as a result. Hence; if you want to get ahead buy the secretaries chocolate. (The academics may think they have the power but we know different!)
