You should really get a rabbit. But do it when you get to California because they don’t travel well.
Welcome to those new to the GC (and welcome back to the rest of you)! If you overhear something at the GC that merits a chuckle, gasp, or wince, we want to hear about it--tag us in your tweet or shoot us a DM.
A big thank you to my predecessor for their service; I hope to uphold the high standard of eavesdropping that has been set! Overheard something? Tag us or shoot us a DM.

The person who runs this account got a job outside New York and is sadly no longer overhearing things at the GC. If you’d like to take over this account, DM me.
The look on his face, you could tell it was going to be a long class.
1: It was the only time I ever wanted to slug a colleague. I still like him, but I wanted to slug him. 2: People are complex.
It’s not like most dissertation ethnographies that sprinkle the methods in the first chapter and then poof. He is interested in how merchant capitalism affects the local life. He’s interested in several moments. It’s very phenomenological.
1: Who volunteers for a committee on governance? 2: It’s like a colonoscopy.
1: It’s sad, though he was 97. You know, he hired me. 2: He fired you? 1[louder]: He HIRED me. 2: You’re retiring?
Magazines like the New Yorker are just performing meritocracy.
Man 1: If you need a good prostate doctor, I can recommend one. Man 2: I thought you said he was creepy. Man 1: He is.
I think the conceit of the exam is that memory and struggle are supposed to be part of it, but I just want to do well.
The distance from the headphone to the ear is 0.2.
1: Do you want to get lunch upstairs? 2: I have my own nuts and apple, but I’ll sit with you.
It didn’t totally work for me as a play because I spent most of the time watching the woman I know who was in it do things to the body.
