It's no secret, Pretzels, that I like to goof around with my superiors. I also like to joke around with my subordinates; it's just unfortunate that I don't have any. I'd love for nothing better than to sit around all day cracking wise and doing public health research. Oftentimes though, I refrain from punchlines I truly want to say because I don't want to offend my superiors by crossing some line. Advisor Who, however, does not have this problem.
(on jobs I could look into)
Who: You could work for the Syrian rebels.
Moi: Aw. Syria is so sad now.
Who: Yeah, it is.
[I immediately think, "it'd be even darker if I say I'd work for the Nigerians instead," but I hold my tongue because it seems inappropriate.]
Who: If not the Syrians, you could work for the Nigerian kidnappers.
Moi: I used the hash tag #bringbackourgirls and they're not free yet. I don't get what more I need to do.
