Originally designed to be a site where I told stories about what it was like to be an engineering graduate student, but after two years of actually being a site with various random stories about motherhood, home renovations, nieces and nephews, shoe bargains, and anything else that popped into my head with only the very occasional nod to the blog name, I finally bit the bullet and started a new blog.

I didn’t spend a hundred eleven billion million years* in evil grad school to be called “Ms.,” thank you very much
I’m trying to hire a part-time glassware washer, and an applicant called me today. He’s a college student, and called me “Dr. Mo” (except he used my last name) throughout the phone call.
If you had truly embraced your nerdiness, Mo, as I clearly have, the title would read "a hundred eleven quadrillion years" and would thus not drive your OCD-like nerdy sensibilities mad.

ReplyDeleteYes, banalities, but then I could not torture you. You should be glad I didn't say "eleventy billion million."
