So this week we (teaching assistants) have had a series of meetings about various policies for the upcoming year. One thing is that we have to post our schedules and office hours on our doors, and the department secretary print out these schedules on 3x5 cards that are in the middle of big blue sheets of paper, so you have to cut your schedule out and hang it up. (Bear with me on this, it's amusing). So being inept grad students, none of us had scissors last year, so we all artfully tore our little schedule cards out and hung them and all was well. Today, our supervisor went on this ten-minute mini-lecture about how the torn edges of the schedule cards really bothered him last year, and if we all could please use scissors this time, he'd be a lot happier.
Ah, the delightful trivial details of an existence in higher education.
