You suck at sucking.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

You have a promising career ahead of you in academic uselessness.

More properly, I can't suck WHEN TRYING TO SUCK.
I can, however, suck accidentally.

It does not matter what the students think of you, it just matters what the professor says.
I had people saying I was the most horrid TA ever for years, and never had a mention. Then one semester I was doing a decent job, but the professor came and discovered that I had been letting out the discussion section early (if they had no questions, I told them they could go).
I then got a reprimand.
I had friends who had glowing reports from all their students all the time, the friend who got the TA reward didn't have these, but the Prof. liked him.

Funny, John Hopkins was a respectable school. I wonder what happened.
Wait, is that where House practices medicine?

Well, that certainly might be an effective use of his time...

No. That's Princeton.

Actually, this isn't true. Here a large part of the determination is based off of student evaluations.
In fact, unless a prof goes out of the way, this is the SOLE determinant of who wins it.
Which is why I had a very irresponsible subordinate TA win the award a couple of years ago (he disappeared instead of showing up to grade part of the final exam, as was his responsibility). I was quite angry with that, actually.

IIRC it's Johns Hopkins. Like the Brothers Grimm.

I think the award is like 500 bucks.

It is, in fact, Johns Hopkins.
If a speaker comes and puts "John Hopkins" on his title slide then we all boo.

Getting a similar award from my dept this sememster. More due to logistics necessary to keep the class running (largest class in the dept. by a factor of two) than any special attention I paid to the students.
Will be helpful 'cuz I'll be unemployed for a couple months. Dunno how large it'll be, but I'm hoping that it can cover rent (at $215/mo right now).
