Office Hours
Last Wednesday I held extended office hours to help the kids with their research proposals. No one came in the morning, so I got to sit around for a couple hours and pretend to read. This is what my desk looks like:
Obviously I need to do some decorating. You know, bring in some impressive books to increase my credibility with the youngsters. Maybe some art postcards or pictures of me looking cool. Luckily, Brian left behind the Bob Dylan poster, so at least there's that.
I have to share my office with five other people. Most of them I don't see very often. Generally, it's just Spanke, Tom, and me. I'd like to say we have fascinating discussions on all sorts of intellectual sounding topics, but really we just watch crap on the Internet and distract each other from doing real work. That's what Tom was doing on Wednesday. Look back at my desk. See that big course packet? That's what I was supposed to be reading for my evening class, but nah, I just chatted for a couple hours with Tom (see below):
The evening session was much more productive. I bungled through three conferences.
