(no subject)

I aten't dead, as Granny Weatherwax would say (damn, I miss Terry Pratchett). It's just been an unfathomably shitty week so I've been avoiding LJ/DW for fear of bringing everybody else's mood down. Also, I owe about five different people comments from my last post, so I really ought to answer those before posting again.

But you have GOT to read this! It's hysterically funny, and even though I am not myself an academic, having been an undergrad exposed me to enough of academic life to think, "It's funny because it's true." Go! Read! What are you waiting for? You'll laugh, I promise. Even if you never went to university.

And now, after one paragraph of levity, I go back to my usual doom and gloom and neurosis.
