Nov. 17th, 2004 10:27 amI don't believe I just did that.
Student: "Do you have a Marker I can borrow"
(Students have a habit of forgetting to return such items)
Me: "No, I don't think I do" (Unlocks desk and rummages) "This is the closest I've got" (Hands student a staedler OHP pen)
Student: "Thank you - oh, can I borrow that ruler as well?" (Smiles sweetly)
Me: (Hands over ruler) "They'd better come back or your (computer) account is *so* toast" (Also smiles)(Leaves to make coffee)
When I return a few minutes later, the ruler and pen are on my desk waiting for me, oddly enough.
I really *have* to stop taking help-desk queries before I've had my first coffee of the day. Really.
