Not on call? You must be hibernating.

If we're not on call 24/7, then it must be we are locked away in a closet.

I usually send my doppelganger out shopping so I don't have to face the sun.

  1. I feast upon the ruined hopes and dreams of my failed students. After this past year, I am sated for a few months.

    Hmmm. Was that my stomach growling?

  2. I saw some former students of mine when I went to a major amusement park with my wife and kids. Apparently, from their faces, my presence on the ride ruined their fun, or, they were dismayed and confused by the prospect that I could have fun and smile and laugh with another human being (my little boy). I had no friggin idea who they were, except that I recall they'd once been a class of mine with about 500 students.

  3. Whenever I feast on the blood of my students, they rarely survive, so the point is moot.

  4. My former masters thought I was supposed to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any time not dedicated to my students and their success was seen as time theft. Personally, I think they were using it to justify resenting my getting my last 2 degrees.

  5. I once met an (opposite gender) UG student when I was in a pool (20 miles from the University) doing laps. Actually asked hir if s/he could tell me the time on the clock as I couldn't see it without my glasses. Totally awkward. Ugh.

  6. Now you know one reason I never go to Hooter's, or similar places. Aside from it being a matter of principle, what if the waitress turns out to be one of my students? "Oh, PROFESSOR Frankenstien, FANCY MEETING YOU HERE..."
