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.
*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. :-)
her: Oh, hi, Fox. How are 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.
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!
