What grad school does to you…

Friend: "what did you do last night?"

Me: "i did something crazy"

Friend: "what did you do?"

Me: "I graded papers until 3am"

Friend: "sounds like a crazy nite"

Me: "Oh yeah! The stapler, the white-out, the red pen, and a whole bunch of paper clips; all of the cool office supplies were there! Except the 3-hole punch; his schedule was jammed. Didn't need him anyway."

Friend: "U crazy"

Me: "Well at least I haven't named my stapler or anything. I would name him Butch, but he's not that strong – can't take more than 20 sheets at a time. I may dump him soon tho, for one that can take 50. I would name that one Butch".

Friend: "Wow. Should I be nervous or scared?

Me: "See where 9.5 years of post-secondary education gets you?"
