Buy stuff with your state-issued procurement credit card like a popcorn machine, a wide-screen TV, robotic vacuums, a treadmill and football tickets. And a Jet Ski. Seriously.
What gets me is not just the unethical behavior, but the sheer stupidity of thinking she could make not one, but several extravagant purchases like that on the state's dime and not have someone notice, sooner or later. A frakking Jet Ski?!? This isn't picking up a couple videos at the corner Blockbuster, people.
I've done some less-than-upright and truly idiotic shit in my time—even when I theoretically had reason to know better—but compared to this spectacularly dumbassed, dishonest person, I feel like a Rhodes scholar. And the irony of her having been employed by one of the country's premier institutions of higher learning at the time has not escaped me, either. This is either a case of monumental lack of forethought...or of brass balls the size of the Death Star. (Can one say a woman has "balls"? Or should it be "ovaries"?)
