Fishing was quite fun. And I actually caught a fish! And was shamelessly flirted with and plied with beer by two of New York�s Finest! And came home with 6 bluefish steaks, which I�ll cook at some point when I figure out how.
It was gorgeous out on the Sound. There are photos here.
My love for a certain round-headed
mascot continues to grow. Have you SEEN the
commercials they show during Mets away games? They crack my shit right up.
I have just replaced my computer background image of Cherry Grove with mascot wallpaper. That�s love.
Y�know, no matter how much I like the grey hair, it�s still mighty startling to discover them in my hairbrush.
Mark this on your calendars, folks. Yesterday I got this in an email from my boss:
You don't get paid enough to deal with that psycho.
The psycho in question is a guy who recently began his
LL.M. studies with us. He�s made himself famous for telling my boss he thinks someone�s been poisoning his cafeteria food (no, dear; it
always tastes that way), wanting to know which companies donate to our school since he has lawsuits pending against Big Tobacco, and the
real fun one, telling a security guard that he�d better not try and stop him from carrying a concealed weapon. The fabulous part was, he made this pronouncement while standing right in front of a county court officer and a gen-yoo-wine card-carrying member of the
Eff-Bee-Eye.
And the moral of today�s story is...Know Your Audience, kids.
My interactions with him have been annoying but benign. He keeps hocking me to contact a professor to schedule appointments, make sure he�s gotten his emails, hand in forms he�s needed to have him sign.... Thing is, 1. the guy has something known �round these parts as a �Faculty Secretary� alllll his very own, and 2. she�s no more able to get him to answer emails, schedule appointments or sign papers than I am. If a prof wants to be incommunicado, they�re incommunicado. Hanged if I know where he is.
Then we have the first year student who wisely followed another student�s recommendation (voiced IN FRONT of the Registrar) that he just forge a date on his immunization form rather than get another shot. I recommended he be put on the fast track to take Professional Responsibility, and also familiarize himself with the works of Joe Biden and Doris Kearns Goodwin.
I�m thinking there shall be some major �culling of the herd� at the end of this semester. Moo.
