Journalism Class - Tuesday December 13

Krycek runs in at the last minute upon learning that Spider is out and pulls a big green marker from the desk at the head of the class, writing out the assignment on the screen.

100 words on punctuality, why it's important or not, and be prepared to convince the hell out of me should you be saying the latter.

Alternatively-

100 words on the postal system in Alpha Centauri. How does one post letters in space? Explain however you like, but plausibility is a plus.

He then sits down at the desk and seems in dire need of some coffee.

Punctuality is important because it is often the first thing that people notice about you. If you’re early or on time, that often leaves a good impression on someone. They’ll remember that you’re dependable and that you able to follow a schedule. If you’re late, it’s often going to annoy and turn someone off to your dependability.

Punctuality is important so appointments aren’t missed. If you make an appointment with someone, showing up late is going to irritate the other person and it’s going to put you in an extremely bad light. Be on time. It makes you look good.

And, just for kicks, he does the other one hundred words.

Letter delivery in space, I think, will resemble letter delivery on Earth except the people who deliver the mail might be alien in nature and the delivery vehicle won’t be a little white truck but rather some form of space faring ship. Receptacles will be set up in cities that the delivery person will collect from, they’ll dump it on their spaceships and travel from planet to planet, delivering all the mail. It’s an easy system and, most of the time, it’s one that works. The only downside would be losing mail, packages and letters to the vacuum of space.
