Work a Day

I love/hate coming into work the day after exams.  I hate that I always sign up for it when I could be doing other things, such as sleeping, mending the holes in my shoes, or laundry.  But Pre-Exam Me isn't very bright and always overestimates my enthusiasm for work (heck, Exam Me isn't very smart either).  But I come and I work and in the silence of the office, I start to remember that I enjoy this stuff.  Then I stop by the board and see that people have added their own health services pirate jokes and it all helps the medicine go down.

Whitecastle: How's our paper coming?

Moi: Uh, well, it's- um, I had exams, so I had-

Whitecastle: This is going to be a good paper.

Moi: Is that the correct answer?

Whitecastle: "This will make you proud" would also have been acceptable.
