I am back from school. I bought one of the French course books. It is about verbs and essentials of grammar. I dropped off my anti-requisite form. I checked to see if the TA assignments were up but they were not done yet. The director of graduate studies only has one weekend to do them. I took back the book: Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics. There was some verbal abuse of the director of the math school ( a different director) in the elevator perhaps some counter abuse caused it or an attitude to security and safety on the part of the director. I am not sure it was a crime of verbal abuse that's for sure. I said at the time that it was a labour conflict. It seemed to be part of the class war. I just happened to be there.
