One of the sillier components of my job is that I occasionally have to oversee lectures and other events for the departments I work for. Today, we have some hotshot German scholar coming to give a lecture on "Transfigurations in Thomas Mann." (wheeeeee.) After a large snafu involving Mr. Hotshot's check this morning, I called to confirm our catering order. Me. Ordering caterers. What a hoot. People are going to come in, listen to some deutschbird talk about Thomas Mann, then feast on tex-mex dip, a fruit platter, cookies, brownies, soda, and bottled water. Is it me, or does it all seem just a bit silly?
