My department can be bitchy after all

The scene: People leaving the room at the end of afternoon tea.

Staff member 1: "Well, back to pretending to work."

Staff member 2: "Watch it. You haven't got tenure yet."

Staff member 1, with a pointed look at #2: "One of these days the university is going to shake itself like a dog, and all the fleas are gonna fall off and die."

Ahh, that's classic. Sounds like you have a lot of fun at work, with all these interesting conversations to hear!

Oh, there have been even better ones than this lately. Unbloggable, sadly, as I REALLY wouldn't want people to find out I'd made them public.
