grrrrr

Thought for the day: the student sitting in my office waiting for me to finish a phone call would receive a far more favourable response to his actually completely inappropriate and misdirected query if (a) he had taken a bath any time in the last week, and (b) he wasn't chewing gum continuously with his mouth open.

Also, if the phone doesn't stop ringing, I may have to acquire a shotgun.

That is all.

Someone mentioned on Ravelry yesterday that she "never understood how people could *need* a drink at the end of the day, until she started working at a university".

I thought of you.

Thank you. I am having the kind of day where the thought of a stiff G&T at, oh, about 7pm, which is when I've been arriving home of late, is the only thing that's keeping me going. I'm bunking Jim's birthday party this evening on the grounds of (a) the strong chance I'd rip someone's throat out with my teeth, and (b) being dead.

Working in IT can do the same thing.

I do not doubt you at all. I think any job can, actually.
