Final Paper Drama
This is the sort of thing professors get in their in boxes the day after a paper is due. Please note that I warned students that I do not want any e-mail attachments:
On Monday after my last final I decided to go out with my friends and celebrate, at a Chinese restaurant that serves free wine with oyour meal. Later that evening I experienced one of the worst feeling that I have ever felt in my life, food poisoning. For over 24 hours now I have been consistently sick, won't go into detail, and I have not left my house, or two rooms rather. I have wireless connection on my laptop, and unfortunately I do not get great or dependable connection at my house here in the boonies of Staten Island, and i know that you said you preferred not to get emailed papers anyway, so I decided to burn my paper to a CD and my friend agreed to print and fax it to your office for me. About 45 minutes ago my friend called apologizing because it was after 8pm by the time she was able to drive to Staples to fax my paper, and it was closed. I should not have depended on someone else to deliver my paper to you, and I know that I should not have waited until! now to email you, but until now I was sure everything would work out. I am so sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing you, and I can have my friend fax it to your office between 12-12:30 but right now I am worried about getting the physical copy of the paper to you, and I feel more secure sending it to you via email while I can. Please accept this emailed paper!! I understand that it is late, and again I apologize for this inconvenience Professor Vaidhyanathan.Stay away from Chinese restaurants that serve free boxed wine!!
