Yesterday was my surprise going away lunch at work (ask me about the surprise sometimes, it's my favorite story this week). As usual, farewells brought out the fondest memories and warmest wishes in everyone. Here's a sampling of the best:
Whitecastle: You could do to lose some weight.
Doc Query: Second rate Scrabble player.
(In my thanks, I said, "I mean, I can't imagine any other job where I get to just write on the white board without it being the daily specials.")
Doc Gollum: That might be your job after graduation.
And then there was the cheerful Doc Binks.
Binks: Does the Dean still begin convocation by saying that the school of public health is the only Harvard school where graduates leave with less earning power than before they started the program?
Decider: Is that taking into account the effect modification of graduates with prior degrees?
Moi: (sighs and head shakes)
But it's OK. Doc Binks gave me a parting gift of a conference tote bag. On the one side it says SPSS. On the other SAS. I'm going to be the coolest kid in nerd school.
