- My partner built me these incredible bookshelves for my birthday and now everyone asks if my zoom background is fake
- Graduate school did not prepare me for what to do when you’re teaching a small evening seminar that’s scheduled for 3 hrs and only one student shows up.
- Received a “Save the Date” for a friend’s wedding in Chicago, followed (about 2 wks later) by an “Un-save the Date” explaining that they had decided to have a smaller ceremony with only family & close friends and I am no longer invited.
- I asked a colleague if he could be less condescending and pushy in the emails he sends me (which are usually pleas for my help with something) and he said they were all written by ChatGPT.
- what if this was actually the peak of information technology
- Sometimes the little girl who lives next door leaves me flowers on my porch swing. ❤️
- Replying to @seeshespeakOpe! The ‘Splainers have arrived, time to mute the thread, folks. (It was fine; another student showed up 30 mins in; we made it all kinda sort work; chill yourselves.)
- Got my new .edu email address and I regret to report that, after a six-year hiatus, I am back to being known as “sliming.”
- Oh this is definitely *not* about money. But thanks for the mini-lecture on behavior, stranger!
- The archive that Indiana Jones movies prepared you for VS. The one you're actually working in
- I was complaining about paying my own way w/ academic conferences, & a friend told me to write them off on my taxes, explaining “So if you make $80K / yr ...” I interrupted him to say that I make $20K+ less than that, and he was shocked. The kicker: he’s my associate dean.
- Tonight a woman in her 80s pulled me aside to ask me about my lipstick. She said, “It’s gorgeous. And I’ve been watching you all night — it hasn’t come off on your wine glass. Has lipstick changed?!?!”
- Replying to @S_Insley_HTry logging out of Outlook and then casting your laptop straight into the sea. Worked for me.
