Small [nerdy] pleasures.

There are not tooooooo many perks that come with being a univercity lekturer - but yesterday provided one of em' while I was busy doing the 'welcome to our degree you cute little shit-scared first years' BBQ and pretending to be a welcoming lecturer.

Little student: "So, uh, what can we call you?"

Me: [completely straight-faced] "Your Highness will do to start".

Tee hee.

Yep - i figure if i am going to be an 'akademik' then i may as well be the cheesy one whose gags get progressively less funny with time [ah, such joy in career aspirations!].

Once the novelty of that wears off I will switch to being the eccentric one with the feather boa and dachshund who calls everyone 'darling'.

Am aiming to avoid being the one that is the subject of the sexual harrasment complaint though...or maybe that would be preferable to the two options prior?
