  1. Hey, quit calling Cal names! ;-)

    Whenever they call me an Uptight Asshole, I wear their scorn like a badge of honor.

    Isn't this a plagiarism of one of Matt Groening's "Life in Hell" comics, "The Nine Types of College Professors"?

  2. I think Frod is right.

    Maybe with a couple more years under my belt, I can be seen as an ancient, uptight, weird, big shot surrogate BFF.

    The surrogate BFF label would be the worst, personally, but Kids Aren't Too Interested, Either.

  3. I'm the weird one. A student once said that to me - like the words just sneaked out of his mouth and he was frightened of what the consequences might be. I cracked up.

    Yesterday I had a last minute brain storm (in other words, an hour before lecture I was still making making a lesson plan) and suddenly had to get 90 copies of a 33 page activity packet from one building to another. I'm 5'3" and a little over weight - but I made a big yoke out of my arms and just hustled it over there in a half squat. I caught my reflection in the window at Admissions and thought "FFS - I really am Miss Frizzle without the bus".
