Some Mondays, R drops off baby Scott at the University so that I can watch him for a few hours during the afternoon while she does performances with her singing group. Scott puts on a little performance of his own, distracting a large number of MBA students who don't need much of an excuse to drop their accounting homework. Here he is sitting with Toronto native and former investment banking analyst AV. I am certain that AV is teaching him Excel shortcuts to help improve his productivity. Right now, Scott mostly tries to tear the keys off of the computer, so any tips would be helpful.
Speaking of Excel lovers, yesterday morning we had a hilarious incident during our decision modeling class (basically an Excel course). Our class meets in a lab with windows running down each side that look out across a narrow hallway to a row of glass-walled study rooms and another computer lab. The whole class became uncomfortably distracted when two students started making out in one of the study rooms right across from us. Finally, our instructor decided to bang on our windows and wave her arms to get their attention, effectively throwing a bucket of cold water on their intimate little moment.
When they realized what was going on, the girl turned beet red and dropped back to her books and the guy grabbed his backpack and bolted without looking up once. I took a picture after everything was over, but you can see the study room through the windows on the left.
Oh, it still makes me laugh to think about it.

Nothing like having Scott start at the top when it comes to education--a little univeristy and computer work before his first birthday. That is my grandson !
Love the lab lovers story--as your Boise cousins would say:
"What were they thinkin'!"
When I was at BYU (long before computer labs were in existence), the professors would audio tape their lectures. If you needed to hear a lecture again you could go to the main library and check out headset and then sit at a long row of tables where you could plug in, find the right channel and listen. Sometimes people would just listen to music. Some of those people would forget that they had headsets on and were in a library and would start to sing outloud to the music not knowing that everyone around the library could hear them. It usually sounded so bad, but was so funny--especially when they realized what they were doing.
haha that makes me laugh just thinking about it too!
Do they arrest "peeping toms" in Canada???
