outta here, in a puff of engine exhaust

Dalhousie professor Danford Middlemiss quit earlier this week, when the line-ups to get a parking pass were too long.

“For a guy like myself that lives in Lower Sackville [I presume this is on the east end of the Shire], I have to get on the road around 6:30 to 7 to get an assured parking spot somewhere so I can get here to teach at 2:30 in the afternoon,” said Middlemiss, an expert on Canadian defence policy.

“Luckily, I don’t have to put up with it.”

I wish us all the chance to retire in a great flourish such as this, pounding a fist on a desk of some student employee over some irritation that the administration should have fixed long ago.

    That’s pretty good. I had planned to save my retirement to quit over an IRB or Honor Court decision, but I’ll have to think about it.

    So obviously they’ve failed to provide the faculty with parking but before coming down with a firm opinion on the Dalhousie administration, I’d like to hear how they’re doing at providing the alumni with football and the undergrads with sex.
