Seven Secrets to Success - Period Five - Wednesday, 6/24

[uptheziggurat.livejournal.com]

As the class came in, there were the usual seats and Rimmer seated at the front with his hands folded. Something about last week, specifically the visit of one David Lister, had taken some of the wind from his sails and it was a singularly tired looking hologram who looked out at his cadets today.

"The final lesson, the very last thing I have to teach you--" he looked down at his notes, the syllabus, crumpled it up, and tossed it into the bin, "well, it's really very simple, class.

"Whatever you think I would do in any given scenario, do the exact opposite."

He folded his hands and closed his eyes, leaning back in the chair.

"Now either sit here and bask in whatever bitter vindication you've gained from this lesson, or go."

Its cold outside,
There's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly,
Far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comotoase,
Drinking fresh,
Mango juice,
Goldfish shoals,
Nibbling at my toes,

Hurley, at the end of the lecture, just started laughing.

Rimmer glared.

Agnes sat there and basked in vindication for a bit. Obviously, she'd KNOWN Professor Rimmer wasn't exactly the epitome of success, she just hadn't expected him to ADMIT as much.

When she thought that she could do it without laughing, she walked up to Rimmer and saluted smartly. "Thank you, sir!"

He looked disgusted and waved her off.

"Oh, go away..."

Agnes saluted again. "Yes, sir!"

And she turned sharply and went away.

One hopes she didn't get to meet Lister.

So the secret of success turned out to be exactly what Turtle would do anyway. Guess that probably explained why she was already pretty successful.

Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

Butter up for a good 'grade', try and make him feel worthless, or laugh as you like.
