I woke up this morning thinking that it was Saturday, but realized soon enough that I had one more day of work to get through. What a disappointment.
Speaking of disappointments, our department's graduate assistant has become my "project," and today I had to confront the lad about his habitual YouTube and Facebook surfing. I wasn't sure how to handle the situation, but after catching him in the act one time too many (yes, I saw the web site before you clicked the browser closed, ninny!) I had a few words with him and, at least for the rest of the day, the problem was resolved.
It didn't help that this week there was yet another news story of a graduate student run amok. I don't think that our G.A. poses any danger to anyone, but one never knows . . . .

I can relate to that - FaceBook addiction . . .
ReplyDeleteAND the photo: That was me yesterday!
A day off, a good book and a food bath!
That's paradise when you have been running with horses all day long to days in a row!
Have a good weekend!
Hmmmm...this was a cheery post until I clicked on the amok thing. Some people are simply, well...insane. No motive, just insane. That's not to say your GA DOESN'T have a motive...or is NOT insane. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteElin, you have the funniest typo in your comment! "Food" bath sounds like an interesting way to unwind ;-) Hope your weekend is a good one, too!
ReplyDeletejadedj - our G.A. is from the UK -- maybe I should've just e-mailed him the Monty Python video.
i vote for sending the monty python video!
ReplyDeletei woke up afraid it was sunday, when i have to work, instead of saturday, when i don't. checked the parked cars outside, not many, couldn't be sunday :-D
happy to reconnect dear intelli!
I don't think he will get it, intell.
ReplyDeleteBTW...last week I went out to get the Sunday paper (it's the only day of the week we get it) and it wasn't there. Irritated, I called the subscription department informing them that it was 8 o'clock, and I have no paper. "Sir, you only take the paper on Sunday...this is Saturday." I gained an entire day last week...and a dose of humility.
Remindes me of a story about my ex. She got home about 5 pm, took a prescription painkiller. She awoke at 7, late for work. She got herself together fast and took off to work. Got there at 7:30 and no one in the parking lot. She called her boss on the phone and wondered why no one was at work. Her boss said, "Put yourself together, it's 7:30 PM, not AM." Then she remember a pizza delivery guy coming to her building when she was rushing out to work. Pizza at 7 AM?
ReplyDeleteChimp, I see nothing wrong with pizza for breakfast, but it is kind of interesting that she would get all the way to work without realizing something was amiss!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, did I say that? Food?
ReplyDeleteFeet, foots, whatever: in danish it's 'fødder' :-) and that's a tough one, huh?
Hmmmm . . . I used to be soo good at english.
To bad! Is it to late for the fun? I'm laughing like crazy, just what I needed, thanks. I woke up on Sat. at 0619 looking at the clock thinking it was Friday. I though I was late for work, but went back to sleep.
