I think it's funnier because B1 is completely and utterly mystified. Why would he certify her when she hasn't handed in the extra work? How did he read her stuff so fast? Doesn't he want to go through it and pick out all the errors in it?

B1 is detail-oriented, somewhat anal-retentative, and while she can imagine people would casually wing things (after all, she's been sister to me and B2 for forty years), she can't imagine it in context of someone who asked for a resubmission.

We explained to her that the extra 2 years she took to finish the study took up the marker's time, too, and she's shown her competentency with everything else she's handed in so the guy probably only needed to look it over once and judge that all the bits that were needed were in there. Plus, the 'extra work' he assigned her wasn't strictly necessary - our SIL is doing the same course, and handed in 3 pieces of work, I guess the adjudicator had an 'asshole moment' and figured he'd make B1 put in 4 pieces. BIG MISTAKE. BIG. HUGE.

And yeah, I'm glad she's finished, too!


Yeah, that's the bit that gets me. Like, eyecontact, acknowledgement...something...

The woman in question posted "Thanks forthe write-in everyone!" I came this close to typing, "It was lovely to meet some of you, and lovely to not meet some of you!" And then I decided that was too bitchy. But damn I was tempted.
