One of the Many Reasons I Love Suzy

I've been meaning to blog for a few days, but I haven't thought of anything blog worthy....until now.  Suzy sent me this message today, and I laughed so hard that I felt like sharing.

15 things you are NOT required to know how to do in order to get a doctorate:

1. How to assemble non-ugly three-year review binders.
2. How to share empty cardboard boxes with one's playmates.
3. How to not handle all of the cookies when selecting one's favorite.
4. How to not lose dozens of sharpies regularly.
5. How to use a copier.
6. How to selectively print a FEW pages out of MASSIVE documents.
7. How to clean a scanner after getting sand all over it.
8. How to convert word documents to pdfs.
9. How to notice if mailboxes are ordered alphabetically.
10. How to sing the alphabet in one's head.
11. How to get an automatic stapler to staple.
12. How to keep an automatic stapler from rapid firing.
13. How to write polite things on co-worker's birthday cards.
14. How to respond to important emails.

and finally...

15. How to NOT BE AWKWARD!!!

With all my love,
from a quasi scientist to the real deal,
Suzanne

PS: All of the above are based on real experiences, many of which have happened since noon today.

ISN'T SHE HILARIOUS?

    Love that Suzy girl! When she moved out of my house and into yours, you got to have a lot more laughs! Thanks for sharing some of them with me. Be sure to let her know that student secretaries should be careful not to make fun of their professor/bosses.

    xoxox,
    Mom

    BAHAHAHAHA oh my, as someone who works consistently with brilliant faculty... may I just add to the list:
    16. How to not send seven blank emails from your new smartphone.
    17. How to not offer more scholarships than you have money to pay for.
    18. How to turn forms in on time.
    19. How to turn forms in less than three weeks late.
    20. How to change your voicemail to not say you're out of the country for fall semester 2009.
    21. How to not accidentally forward your phone to a phone number across campus.
    22. How to not shift your fingers over on the keyboard so that words look like words instead of russian gibberish.
    23. How to not expect the email recipient to understand your russian gibberish.
