Blind Lunch

I had a birthday. Some presents. Some problem sets. Some sleep. No energy to debrief any of this.

I also had lunch with Professor Papa as part of a school event. As always the case with school, it was totally intense and if you didn't RSVP fast enough, the invitation was rescinded and given to someone else. Other than that though, we weren't given much information.

Prof Papa: What were you guys told about this event?

Student: They just said, do you want to eat with professors? We signed up via student news.

Moi: What did they tell you?

Prof Papa: They said, do you want to come to this lunch?

Mo: Hm. I was told we'd get A's in the class.

Prof Papa (considers proposition): That's fair. OK.

Best lunch moment, runner up (second to salmon): Learning about, then laughing as a table at, how doctors in one Chinese hospital wear helmets to work to protect themselves from patients.
...

Suck it, Hellasinki:

"If the dolphins say, "Don't kill us, that's not such a great policy,"- no, don't listen to them."
