This has happened to me in two meetings -- it is just so rude, among other things! Like none of the rest of us have other things we could be doing?

Who could have guessed. My most significant memory from a recent conference was seeing a whole bunch of these little dudes congregating in the student center -- it seemed like they were planning the robot uprising, but maybe they were just stuck.

Yesterday, I had to explain to undergrads that dot matrix printer paper was, in fact, regular size once you pull off the sides (yes, we had a cache of old paper we were giving away) AND I got asked if I knew what TikTok was. I guess I have officially become old?
