Reference Point

This week has been a mad focus on honors work and nothing else. I did not go to work. I did not hang out. I wrote and edited. Then wrote and edited. Most of it done in the soc department lab. On Tuesday, I arrived in the soc department so early in the morning that the lights weren't even on yet. Professors weren't even there, except Riles and J-Lo. It wasn't until I was wrapping up yet another help-me-fix-my-thesis-crisis meetings with Riles that we saw another professor come in. It was the Band Man. I had listed him as a reference for a job I was applying for.

Band Man: Hey, I got a call about you yesterday.

Moi: Oh yeah? Did you say outrageous lies about how good I am?

Band Man: I haven't talked to them yet, but I plan on lying profusely.

Riles: Oh, we all lie. (She was my other reference.)

Moi: Yay! Thank you. Wait, yay...? You all say good lies?

Band Man: You walk on water, right?

Moi: Yes. I think I'll make you some wine from water.

Well. Riles and Band Man must have been great liars and that must've been good wine, because all of it paid off. I got an offer today.
