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.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
(((Trudy))), I'm so very sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't get drunk by myself, so that's probably why I have never drunk dialed. The worst, though, is answering the phone on Ambien. I can force myself away from the computer, but I will still answer the damned phone and sound like a crazy person.

Thrive to spite them
I've done something extremely stupid and it's a big stupid mistake. I'm at this weird state where I'm freaking out and I have to tell my parents about this (unless I lie and lying is partly what got me in trouble). If I lived further away or if I had money to take care this I wouldn't have to tell them, but I'm not totally freaking out panicking. I want to curl up in a hole and wish this never happened.
I've called my therapist. This might sound really bad, but part of me wishes I would fall to pieces enough so I can go to the hospital and deal with falling apart rather than this. But I don't need that. It's just running away and avoidance (again, what got me into this problem).
