Knives in the toaster.
I got nothin’ today. A lot of half-amusing stories about the academics in the department gettin’ down on the dance floor at the conference party long after most of the students had left. Apparently one of Australia’s leading feminists went arse over after too many beers. Very embarrassing stuff, I hear.
At least I know that in academia you’re not expected to be able to bust a move with any skill. Perfect career for me.
Late to work on account of all my lights going out and the fuse box being under lock and key. They’re always in there fiddling though - testament to the high number of people in my apartment block who try to kill themselves by sticking knives in the toaster.

That they often fail to do so is even more depressing.

I guess it’s the same reason why folks like Britney Spears don’t end up in academia. Though to her credit, at least SHE doesn’t pretend to be a scholar.

Nobody likes a feminist. They should be in the kitchen, making my dinner.
