I need a sign around my neck...

...one that says, "The university stopped paying me as of Friday last week. So bog off."

"Hi! I missed the last four or five weeks of class, because I've been quite busy, y'know, but I thought I'd check with you about what you covered, because I thought maybe you might have talked about something that will be on the exam."

[stunned silence from my end]

"So, anyway, now that classes are over, I guess you've got a bit more time, so is it okay if I come by your office a couple of times this week and we can go over the stuff I've missed?"
