Me: They were all really cool though, even though they're up there and I'm just an undergrad. Although now I think about it I'm not sure why I thought it would be so bad.
Mia: You forget that academics are just students who get paid to stay at uni.
And then there was the random person who rang me up today to inform me that my daughter kicked her dog and the dog now couldn't walk properly or something. The weird thing was that she seemed to know my name, but that might have just been due to the tendency to try to make sense out of garbled static-filled nonsense.
