If it was sent to them via a plagiarism checker, the person who uploaded it didn't own the rights to it, and thus, couldn't have transferred the rights to the essay mill, even if they agreed to all of the terms and conditions.

If your professor was the one who unknowingly let it fall into their hands, hopefully they don't get defensive about it if the possibility of it is brought up.

surely they will... a professor admitting fault?

seriously, i wanted to suggest this is what happened but it's almost inimaginable to me that a prof would get phished into proof-checking with a shady internet service instead of something that would be academically recognized. serious need of a protocol here.

Yeah, it's not so much that I think a professor couldn't be tricked into this, as that I'd think that a university would provide professors with legitimate plagiarism-checking tools so that this wouldn't be an issue in the first place. Like, some service would already be paid by the university and free to use for profs.

The irony is that the plagiarism checker might of been the very means of her getting plagiarised.

That is literally ironic!

OK so, I did apparently sign up for their plagiarism shit. i have some emails about it from march. why the fuck i'd have signed up - especially in march?? - i have no idea. regardless, i'm sure the thing about them stealing your essay is deep in some EULA agreement or something. and the info on their page says they will take it down if you request it even if you agreed to let them have it.

it's still scummy and maddening but at least i know how they got it. and yeah, my university uses turnitin

Cool reprise. You should sue turnitin.com and share a slice with me.

Disco King you got hit by a car? Plz share. I cannot believe this hasn't happened to me here yet. Got hit in Socal once pretty bad (bruised my leg up) and in Seoul three times (crazy koreans!) but the anglosaxonic yokels of Walla Walla have somehow managed not to run me over. yet.

So my adviser said he thinks my work is done except for the abstract and conclusion, and he also thinks the paper is good enough to be published. However, he thinks most journals would say it is too long, and it would be better suited as a chapter in an anthology. However, anthology chapter writers are generally solicited by the editors of the anthology. TL;DR good enough to be published but not in the correct format and/or I don't have name recognition to be in a position to publish in an anthology.

he suggested possibly open source journals, but some of them are sketchy and the peer review is bullshit (but not all of them). He is going to see if there's anything he can find that is suitable. My university's undergraduate journal is max 8000 words so that's out. I've found some others but they are generally even shorter. it's going to top out at about 16,000, probably 14-15 leaving out source reference text

Finally filing a suit against my last employer and my lawyer is asking for way way way way way more than 36k from them. When he was attempting to settle for 36k, I thought that was the suit. But apparently it was just a preliminary settlement they passed on, so now it's time to get serious.

They needed a $400 filing fee to file an official suit, which was paid today. My lawyer's office is waiving the $5,000 retainer fee until the case is settled. He seems pretty confident, which makes me feel good and justified.

I think I am in good hands:
Mr. Gonzalez is one of the nation’s most well-known employment attorneys, concentrating his practice in representation of employees and employers in employment discrimination and wrongful discharge cases. Within recent years, he has gained major litigation victories and substantial out-of-court settlement in cases against Fortune 500 corporations. In 2013, he was inducted into The College of Labor and Employment Lawyers—the highest honor within the labor and employment practice field.

His background prior to joining Chicago-Kent’s faculty in 1988 was as an Administrative Law Judge with the Illinois Human Rights Commission, where his decisions under the then-new state discrimination laws helped create and shape Illinois workplace law. He also brought to Chicago-Kent extensive trial experience, both as a litigator with the Chicago firm of James D. Montgomery & Associates and with the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago.

I came to campus 4 fucking hours early today to get to the bookstore to get my cap and gown before they close for the day and they are closed with a post-it note "Sorry! The bookstore is closed today!" WTF this is my last day of class until finals. now I have to go to the campus by my house to get it which is fine but if i may bitch some more, half the campus breezeway is getting redone and you have to take this long winding route to the bookstore which is a big pain and is why i came here early today instead. i tried last week but they closed early b/c of thanksgiving.

first world problems

Theirs hella roses about the Vale.

I saw a regal looking pure white husky napping on a driveway. He gave me a sleepy look.

Also saw a super cute little house of dark brown wood with white eaves and door and shutters and white canopied well in the front yard. Made my day.

It looked like something out of a fairy tale. All the trim was carved into designs and there was a white fence and also the garage was of brown wood white white eaves... might go back to take a picture.
