Anne Curt-ly: Ghostly Glitches

dearannecurtlyDear Anne Curt-ly,

I am a faculty member who teaches in the Lowder Science Building.  During lectures, I will often have issues using powerpoint.  The computer will go forwards or backwards through the slides on its own, without me touching the mouse or keyboard.  This happens in every room in the building, at least once a week.  I have excluded a technical explanation for this phenomenon, and have concluded that your ghost is responsible for this. This causes constant disruptions in my classes, which negatively impacts student learning.  So, my question for you is: Why do you hate our students?

Dear Peeved At Lowder-

While I am honored that you thought immediately of me after dealing with such malfunctions- I have a confession to make. You see, in the last edition of The Triangle, I had a similar question dealing with the ghosts in Tucker. The student wanted to know how best to deal with those ghoulish characters which inhabitant our lovely music building. In said article I was able to describe my favorite hiding places as well as frequent dwelling spaces…  So, I suppose I cannot blame you for giving me, as someone would say, this badge of honor.

So, I will put this as kindly as I can.

Blame Barron.

 

You too can write to Anne Curt-ly for advice at any time night or day @ thetriangleonline@gmail.com.
