My grad student barges in my office without an appointment.
Student: "I have some research stuff to discuss with you"
Me: "I have a class in 10 minutes."
Student: "Can I come after that?"
Me: "I am chairing a panel for blah blah at the other side of the campus. I will be done by 230ish"
Student: "But I have a appointment with furniture sales dealer at that time"
Me: "Cant help you much there. Lets try tomorrow then?"
Me (in my head): "So you want me to cancel the panel then that I have been preperaring for the past two weeks and meet with you instead? ;~"
I dont remember being this obnoxious when I was a grad student. Being an undergrad was a different story.
Life is amusing. I am in a good mood today.
Oh yes. The student being more busy and important than the prof, gotta love that! I remember a student who couldn't meet because he had to eat lunch. Because he's a newborn. Or will die if he postpones lunch by 20 min.
