What a shitty way to spend my birthday.

Post by Vympel »

Doing a "no less than 3,000 word" assignment on the law on corporate governance.

Anyone got some official US links about reforms post-Enron?

Yay, I'm 22, someone kill me.

Sucks for you, my most recent writing assignment was "As long as you need it to be."

Yay, I'm 22, someone kill me.
Happy birthday, and I'll launch something big pronto.

I stopped celebrating my birthdays since I was 13. They just seemed so trivial.

Something on Sarbanes-Oxley, from the AICPA. Don't know if it's what you're looking for, but this is the biggest piece of post-Enron reform legislation.

Ouch, I know what it's like to have schoolwork on your birthday, although on a much smaller scale. Try to find a couple free minutes to do something you like that you don't do every day.
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

Damn, most of my stuff now is 'no more than 3 pages', which is not always easy for those reports.

Hey Vymp, if you don't mind, could you let me see that paper when you're through with it? I could probably learn something.

The only think I could imagine being worse than a 3,000-word essay is a 3,000-word essay on a subject where you can cover just about everything in only a few hundred words. If there's a lot to say on the subject, then the only problem would be time. If there isn't a lot on the subject, then you have to devise ways to drag it out. Anyway, happy birthday.

Handed the piece of shit in. Went over the word limit (3,500) by 83 words. Hope they don't notice.
