No, being the sap that I am, I would solve the messes by digging through old paperwork and making phone calls.
I would love to drop by your classes, but I live in the Midwest! In fact, I've only ever been to the West Coast once (3 days in San Francisco, 2004).

Let's see, some excerpts.... On December 23rd, 2008, Thaddeus Keane, Gateway Corp.s sole owner, purchased $1,800 of common stock in Gateway Corp. for cash. Record any necessary journal entry for Gateway Corp. ***** Given the following information for 2007, calculate the total amount of ISO Corp.s extraordinary items to be reported on ISOs 2007 Income Statement. Be sure to state whether the total is a gain or a loss. All numbers are before tax. Tax rate = 20% ***** This one was one of Springie's favourites: State the type of opinion the auditor would give under each of the following (independent) situations. a) Ken Industries has financial statements that present its accounting position fairly in all material respects. b) Eagle Corp. has never had an audit but requires one this year for the purposes of obtaining a loan from City Bank. The auditors have not found any problems with this years financial data. c) Mark Brothers lost all accounting data for the year when their computer systems crashed due to a virus. The data is unrecoverable. d) Washio Group has had many disputes with the auditors over its financial statements. Management refuses to change any accounting numbers, even though many are materially misstated. ***** Ace Company had $200,000 of accounts receivable on March 31st, 2007. Ace assumed that $50,000 of these receivables would not be collected; however no allowance had been set up for this amount. Ace needed extra cash and was contemplating different ways of obtaining the funds. There are others of course, but this is a sampling..... Do you all want to be in my accounting classes now?

Hmmmm! I do not remember anything like that happening in my university classes. Of course back then cell phones were not a big thing. We still carried those huge phones....

As for rubber snakes in class. I guess I did not attend any classes with the right kind of people. Now, if some of those Engineers or Foresters were in my classes it might have made it more interesting.

Maybe they'll drop 'round and pay me a visit tomorrow... I don't have too much of a problem with cell phones in the class. Occasionally one will ring but students turn it off or leave. Generally they don't leave because they know that I'm not very helpful for students who just decide to 'miss class'. I do however have to ban cell phones during tests and exams. Students have been caught using the camera features to send questions to friends and receive answers.

My tertiary education was at TAFE college. (I think you guys just call it college...I'm not sure but its not as intense as Uni...) Its nothing like Uni, no lectures for starters...it was very hands on.

I was into the Fashion courses, like pattern making, millinery,Visual Merchandising.

I did want to go and study theatre costume design but I needed money to pay for the course and the materials to make the gowns. But I have been in a theatre wardrobe dept for a day and loved it at the Sydney theatre company.

I worked with a girl from London who was the head wardrobe mistress as she called herself and she told me London theatre was the best place she ever worked and there was more work there than in Sydney...sigh!

She left the bridal shop to work for the Opera house...she said that it paid her more than she got in London...

So I made porcelain dolls and dressed then in period costume instead a few years later...

It funny that generally I'm not very good with maths but pattern making requires a lot of maths....but I just did it without thinking about...
