Before I was brutally ejected from my Q-pod and transported to Hell for assimilation, I thought that it might be a unique perturbation of a select group of managers. Now that I "work" in engineering, I see that schedule chicken must also be taught everywhere at the undergraduate level. I hope this doesn't affect my graduation date, which is rapidly approaching, but I'm guessing if I use a 50% rule of thumb for all my estimates/lies, no one will ever know that I never registered for the course.
