vaughn and minz schedule a phone call

me: quick finish writing your lecture because i want to call you.
v: this is complicated stuff i need to go slow!

[30minutes later]

m: okay have you now said lots of dazzling things that will make your students fall at your feet?
v: not yet!

[another 30mins later]

m: surely by now you must have said some slightly sparkling things that will make them lurch forward?
v: shhhhh.
me: i thought you were a clever clogs who will go through this in record time!

[30mins later]

m: oh come on! have you not even said any mildly twinkly things that make them totter a bit?! the progress of organisational behaviour must halt!
v: actually, i teach strategy and design.
me: oh!

*

m: have you developed a strategy of putting me off when i want to call?
v: yes, because you moan and distract me from work i must do to keep the lights lit!


sometimes, she sighs, it’s very difficult to be an impediment.

[meta: m: i think i shall put this on the blog because there hasn’t been a von and minz do x post for a long time. what colour do you want?
v: seafoam on egg yolk!]
