What is even happening?

One of the profs is on sabatical this semester and is only checking his e-mail every couple of weeks. The other usually gets back right away, so I'm surprised. Maybe something is up with his family or something.
Is there a departmental secretary you could call, who might be able to give him a head's up about your email?

Hee! That would be the same woman collecting the submissions.

vw, when I was waiting for my academic references, I had to call and visit one of them about six times. Eventually the secretary where I was applying just phoned him for a verbal reference. Lesson: the secretary where you're applying has to deal with academics and their whimsical approach to paperwork too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actually, I'll go further than that: IME, a good department secretary is the only person on earth who can manage a certain breed of academic, and is thus a certifiable genius.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've never drunk dialled. But judging from my inbox, I have e-mailed under the influence of medication. They need to write that on the bottles.

Oh, I've drunk-dialed A LOT. But I think my percocet-induced phone calls (some of which were to y'all) were a LOT funnier.

I'm sorry for your loss, Trudy.
