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.

That was hilarious. I was once a higher education reporter and even though I don't have an advanced degree, I've been in enough university environments to have seen that in action. Thanks for linking it.

Sorry you had a shitty week. I hope it's getting better. And this is your journal space. We just read it. So say what you want when you want. :)

Yeah, I've read it about seven times now, and I giggle like a loon every time.

Well, my week is automatically better now because it's Saturday and I don't have to go back to work until Monday morning. Hopefully things at work will get better soon.
