Yeah, the current tenant is going to Maine to do some work and needs someone to live in her place and feed her cat. It's a pretty boss place, downtown and quiet. So I can study for the GRE in peace.
That's cool. For a moment there I was worried you were renting a hotel by the week, which usually means it comes with the weekly shooting-and-heroin-bust discount. :shifty:

I just had to fill in a grad student survey, and some of the questions really surprised me. One was "do you feel entitled to your supervisor's time, outside of working hours?" At first I thought "what idiot feels entitled to their supervisor's time outside of their office hours, let alone working hours?" but I imagine many do. Then I thought "I had to pick up my supervisor's garbage from his lawn this weekend after raccoons had been in it. I definitely feel entitled to something".

Thank fuck there hadn't been used condoms in there, I would have been scarred for life. He's hot, but nobody's that hot.

An odd question to ask, really. Sounds like the survey was written by some HR team who had to adjust for some staff complaints.

But at the same time, I know of too many faculty people who treat their grad students as slaves made available at their whim at any time of day or night too...

:lol:

Unless that wasn't meant to be a joke. :shifty:
