@Coffee_and_Salt Reminds me of when I was in grad school at U of C—a crusty political theorist came out of his office, looked around, saw students in the hallway, and asked, “Has the quarter started yet?”
@Mj_Osa I would be torn on weather to avoid him completely or sign up for that man’s class.
@Coffee_and_Salt I wonder how long the office smelled like that after he finally left (for greener pastures or Elysian Fields)
@Mj_Osa just thinking about it made my nose upset.
@Coffee_and_Salt I was on a waiting list for 2+ years to get a faculty carrel at Northwestern. I finally got one assigned, picked up the key, unlocked the door, and whew ugh! The carrel (essentially, a closet with a chair) was imbued with eau d' old (male) professor. I went over to Whole Foods, bought an expensive aromatherapy diffuser and some STRONG essential oils. Still took about a week for the stank to leave.
@Mj_Osa that’s tragic! I bet you were so thrilled for the space, and then boom. Punched right in the nose.
@Mj_Osa I wonder how long he’d been in that office!
