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.

He’s hired.

*Possibly it only felt that long.

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.

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