By the way, if anyone is wondering (because I know it's the burning
question that keeps you from sleeping at night), I hate stupid wordy
terminology like "human resources" as much as the next guy. I used
to go to a college that did not have a library; it had a "Learning
Resource Center" or "LRC". This was the same school where, when I
had dropped too many classes (and got put on "progress probation",
which means you've dropped too many classes) mainly due to getting
a job to support myself, I was required to go to the Learning Resource
Center and play a computerized game that was suspiciously similar
to Candy Land. Except in order to advance, I had to correctly answer
multiple choices questions like:

If I had $200, I would spend it on
a) whores
b) booze
c) that nifty new sweater they have at the department store
d) a tutor so I can do well in my classes

It really was almost that dumb. I tried answering 90% of them with
practical, academic-progress-friendly answers and 10% of them with
hey-I'm-doing-well-I'll-reward-myself-just-a-little answers. I
thought a nice 90% work, 10% play balance would be a pretty good
approach, but apparently if you don't spend 100% of your money
and 100% of your time on school, you're evil, at least according to
this game.

Eventually I got (re-)admitted to a real four year college where they
had numerous LIBRARIES but not a single Learning Resource Center
anywhere in sight. The lack of an LRC didn't seem to impede my
learning though.

OK, end of random tangent...
