One more thing...

This goes hand in hand with previous post. For a long time, my ratings on ratemyprofessors.com have been chili-pepper free. This means that even though my students think I am an easy, clear, friendly teacher, not one of them thought I was a hottie.

Thanks to an Orientation colleague, that changed. He gave me a chili pepper. My self-esteem went up, up, up... and then, I went to view this lone chili pepper on the site itself-- and there was no pepper. Down, down, down the self-esteem went.

Apparently, you have to be rated with a certain average of chili pepps before they show up on the main page.

Twist the knife.
