“So you’re almost done your application, right?”, asks my supervisor.

“Yeah. Don’t worry about the other writeup. I had it checked by someone else.”

“I appreciate that. Who did you ask?”

“An English Professor.”

“Oh wow. You know one? It’s always nice to have friends like that, you know. Seeing how we’re in math.”

“Right,” I laughed, “trouble with stringing together complete sentences and all.”

Believe it or not, that’s about as much English as we’re required to write on a daily basis.

Back to work, then. I’ll be swamped with this crap until the end of the week.
