The real reason I'm getting a PhD
It's been approximately two weeks since I returned from Italy and it has taken me that long to gather all my receipts and prepare my expense report. Is this because I have never prepared an expense report? Oh no, it is because I don't even like to balance my checkbook. I did so one time back in 1989 or something like that and it appeared that I was broke, so I decided right then and there that it was a waste of my time. And that is the real reason I am getting a PhD. I have no useful or practical skills to offer society. I feel sorry for our secretary because her working life amounts to dealing with incompetent Dr. Morons day in and day out. She rocks and if it weren't for her, I can't even imagine how we would get through our days.
