Dylan's department had a get-together last night.
Last time they did an all inclusive departmental thing like that I was insanely bored, hungry and grumpy since nobody would talk to me, they served ribs, beer and a bacon infused potato salad (which to a non-beer drinking veggo offers little to be excited about) and the professor hosting it really just kind of struck me as an arrogant bastard.
But last night there was a new host, some new people, a huge selection of veggies, dips and breads (still ribs though, maybe there's some strange connection between Political Science and ribs..?) and sure, plenty of beer, but also red wine to be enjoyed on back porch while the evening got cool and people talked about other things than how to clime the academic career ladder.
Nice.
