I got a big puffy envelope with Royal Mail postmarks in my mailbox today. It was a card from a dear friend, who is getting her PhD in England right now (she comments here as "gramsey"). A card chock-full of news and laughter. She also included a gorgeous scarf that she picked up in Turkey. I was a little grumpy before I checked the mail (somehow, I managed to book all kinds of medical appointments for the same day, and I was starting to feel all poked and prodded), and now I'm a different person. I'm smiling. Picked up out of my everyday surroundings.

Wow!! I made the top three.
By the way I have an office now with a chalkboard!!
Wait a minute, sarcastic math who I also know as "cramsey" (not to be confused with "gramsey"). You're still an undergrad and now you have an office? An office with a chalkboard? Please tell me that at least this office is shared.
Well, I do share it with one other student, but he isn't there too much and it is a relatively big office.
On the plus side 2 pm is known as quittin' time in the Math Department.
You're just trying to make me jealous. (Grumble grumble undergrads getting offices these days, while I'm sharing an office with 20 PhD candidates.)
Clearly this implies something. I am sure the answer has something to do with the unpopularity of Math.
However, as an alternative I like to believe that they just value a real field over some of the other more laughable disciplines.
Burn. I'll sit back and watch the sparks fly.
Just wait until your sister hears you said that, math-boy.
Bunnies! make! me! happy! too!
But heat? Bleah. Come down here if you want it. We've got plenty, so you can take some home with you.
Trillwing, take "hot" as a relative term. Not at all California hot. It never gets really really hot here in Victoria, and so I was thrilled that the weather was warm enough that I could wear a tank-top. For the first time since I moved here.
I think she would be cool with it.
Of course I was completely joking. I am not in a real discipline either! (Hah)
I'm fully aware. Except that, because you're a mathematician, you can pretend to be an insane genius, like the characters in Proof. And that's pretty cool.
Pretend????
Hah, hah, hah, ha... (maniac laughter for a few minutes)
