You Can Check Out Any Time You Like, But You Can Never Leave
One of my undergraduate intern boys walked into the lab today carrying his laptop, which was blaring 'Hotel California'. My many years of of working in labs has caused me to know better, so I ignored him, and let one of the peons do the inquisitorial heavy lifting. (Part of being an effective manager is delegation.)
"What are you doing?"
"It's playing my theme song. I wanted to enter to my theme song."
"Well, you did. You gonna turn it off now?"
"It's a SEVEN-MINUTE theme song. You got a theme song?"
"No."
"Well, when you do, then you can ask questions about mine."
They're 19 and 20. Boys are so CUTE at that age.

Indeedy. My theme song is Wagner's Ring Cycle. I hope to leave by it, some day.
they are also blatantly inconsiderate at that age....and also at 21, 22, 23, and 24 from what i've learned. i did a longitudinal study.
WER, you are obviously a scientist of some renown.
That post has kept me in smiles all day.

What is your theme song, LaBlonde?
And, yes, at 19 and 20 they can be cute...too bad they turn into your Sunday night sullen.
