Channeling Kate

*whew!*

What a day!

Remember 'Desk Set?' With Katherine Hepburn as a reference librarian and Spencer Tracy as an efficiency expert? Well that was my day. We have an efficiency expert with us for the summer. She's a graduate student, doing an internship, and she calls herself a 'Time and Motion Evaluator.' And I was her first victim.

Uh... Subject.

So three quarters of my day was spent with Ms. Time and Motion standing next to me with a clipboard and a stopwatch.

Nobody got the joke when I delivered the line (in a pretty fair Katherine Hepburn impersonation) "This is most irregulah Mistah Kinkaid! How do you expect me to work with you hah-vering about with that stopwatch?" Ah well.
