Today, I picked up a folder of articles I'd been missing for a couple of months from Doc Nice's office. Doc Nice did not steal my articles. Doc Giggles had given the articles to him. She'd found them in her office just recently and had no idea why. I have no idea why either. Or why she gave the articles to Doc Nice after I'd informed her that they might be mine and described the articles I was missing, articles she said that "sounded like what was in the folder." Her reasoning was that Doc Nice had been in her office a few times in the past few months. I hadn't. Ergo, it was more likely that the articles were his. Even though he wasn't missing them. My reasoning was: I don't know how you stole my articles, but I'd like them back.
Among all the unlikely scenarios, the most likely one, we speculate, is that Doc Giggles had a meeting with Doc Gollum in my office and somehow got so carried away that she picked up an extra folder from my desk. Because that's totally logical.
Moi: ... not that I ever lose any articles. And in case Whitecastle ever asks, the lit review is going swimmingly.
Doc Nice: Of course. You were mentally reading them all this time.

Today, Prof. Papa spoke on a panel for our student research group. It's a small, obscure group but we had a good turn out. In planning the event, I'd been the point person for Papa, explaining who we were and why we were putting the panel together. I thought we were all on track. I also thought Josh did a great job introducing and moderating the whole event today. Papa did not. After the talk, he came up to Laura and me and asked, "So, what group was this again? Who did I just speak to?"
