Oh crud, ita. I don't suppose coming in early means you get to leave early too?

Not to mention this student has complained about me several times to colleagues at other universities (and of course it has gotten back to me).
If not but for me, she wouldn't have final funding to complete her dissertation this summer. On my sole recommendation, she received the funding.
I'm really NOT going to choke her. I'm not.

Some of those are decidedly not hats - I thought they made a rule this year?

Dear student:
le nubian is really sorry that after all she's done for you, she's going to have vote against your dissertation and comment on the inadequacies of your presentation while imagining your head on a pike.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't tell anyone I said this, but it seems that the new developer on my projects is effectively inept. I spend my days calling out things she doesn't know in front of people so that she's forced to learn them, because if I just suggest it to her, she doesn't do anything.
In about a month, I'm going to look really bad, because our projects will fail. And although she's the one doing stuff, I'm sure it will be my fault, because she's been here longer than I have. And I'm sure I'm supposed to project manage her brain.
Also my head hurts, and I can't think.
And this blueberry muffin is disgusting.

bad muffin. bad!
(which is worst: imagining coworkers naked, or imagining their heads on pikes, or actually seeing them naked).

So we're all just sitting here in silence. Incoming developer says she has "no idea" but refuses to ask questions of the outgoing developer. I explained that I can't ask the questions for her, but she's gone silent.
Maybe she hung up.
