why would this be funny?

So I'm at home, and I should have been working on my thesis for the afternoon, but it is just a yucky day out and so I decided to curl up with a cup of tea and a book. And it made me feel better. I was in a good mood this morning after the gym and then as I was leaving for work I opened the door and it was raining - now, I know the weatherman, said there was going to be showers, so I wore a skirt and boots, so my pants wouldn't get wet. But in the 5 minute walk to work, my happy mood slowly vanished. It was quiet at work today, only a few calls, but a lot of emails and checking accounts, but we are finished with them! So YAY!

So I am done with work at one, went home for lunch and Home & Away, and then instead of doing the thesis relaxed with my book, until I called the researcher at the Ulster Folk Park/Emigration Centre, who've I've been emailing, so I have to figure out if a trip up there is worth it or not. I don't think I'll be able to make it in the next 3 weeks, so it will most likely be August. I want to get up there anyway, so we'll see.

So anyway, I'm reading the news and I come across this article - Is Giving a Laxative-Laced Cake to a Teacher Funny or Not? and Students' Laxative-spiked Cake and well I'm sorry that isn't funny. Why would something think that would be funny to do? Gah, why do I want to teach?

Anyway, off to maybe pretend to be productive on the thesis. Maybe?
