My nice but lazy academic adviser hasn't done enough to help me get a job. As another year piddles down the pike, Ms. Mentor praises her correspondents for the sauciness, pith, and pointedness of their epistles. But she also observes that it is rare for a letter to Ms. Mentor to be free of misspellings. She sighs and wonders what this world is coming to. As always, she welcomes creative and original questions, as well as gossip, ventilations, musings, and posturings.
Anonymity is guaranteed and tales of folly are welcome.
Ms. Mentor, who never leaves her ivory tower, channels her mail via Emily Toth in the English Department of Louisiana State University. Her views do not necessarily represent those of The Chronicle.
