what bugs me lately

You know what I don't like?  Today, that is, at the moment, besides having frustrating arguments with the OUSU VP (Finance)?

I don't like 'moreso'.  Two words:  more so.  The shoving them together is really getting to me -- possibly because in the past few, I don't know, days? weeks? I've been seeing a lot of it.  Knock it off, y'all, willya?

a conversation that just happened:

Scene:  the front entry of a very small College.  I have just come from the mailroom behind the lodge back into what we will generously call the foyer, and another member of my college is coming in out of the rain.

her:  Oh, hi, Fox.  How are you.
me:  Oh ... you know.  Um.
her:  [begins to look concerned]
me:  Finals.  Coming up.  So I'm in a bit of a state.
her:  I always* admire how stable you are.  You do so much.
me:  Seriously?
her:  Yes.
me:  Huh.  Well -- fooled you!

I've run across a couple of things I once said I'd post about and haven't yet.  When I've put some dinner on, maybe I'll get to it.

*keep in mind that this woman is new this year and doing her degree part-time; she's in very infrequently from London.  so we barely know each other well enough to be described as friendly acquaintances -- thus her 'always' impression doesn't cover an awful lot of the time.  :-)
