In case the comic doesn’t make sense, here’s the boring, slightly techie version:

So, a week (i think) or so ago, a grad student had come into our office wanting a program installed along with some patches on her laptop. She tells me she has class until 4, and I replied telling her that time would be fine for her to pick her laptop up again. It was around 2 o’ clock at the time, and I had more that enough time to install everything. She said she was coming back after classes but also asked me whether or not I could access her Outlook or not. She was using Microsoft Exchange as her email service, so I would be able to access her email with the same password she gave me to log on to her machine. (Exchange is linked to the Active Directory) Then, as she was leaving, she tells me to access her calendar and set up dinner with her. She leaves before I even have a chance to reply. Since my boss and the other full-timer was present, they had witnessed everything, and took no time in making fun of me and threatening me to tell Daphu about the whole thing.

Yeah, I guess it was a bit embarrassing. I’m actually surprised she did that in front of the others. I do admit it was clever. I guess grad students start to feel their biological clock ticking and suddenly notice the crop of young virile subjects around them. *shudder*

If you are wondering: Yes, she was pretty. And no, I did not make any dinner plans. I can almost imagine how she felt when she came back to pick the laptop up as my coworkers looked at her. (I only work until 3PM – hah)

I have nothing to hide!!
