Full of Hot Air
I just got off the phone with a pretentious provost at an effing junior college satellite campus ... get this exchange:
Me: I want to make sure I have you identified properly. Its Name Withheld, N A M E and Withheld W I T H H E L D?
Pretentious provost: Yes, Dr. Name Withheld.
I instantly disliked her after that and wanted to say, Well, Dr. Name Withheld, if you are so intelligent and hoity toity, what are you doing as the provost for a satellite campus of a local junior college, hmmm? (Not that there is anything wrong with that, but don't act like you're on Broadway when you're acting in a high school production. You know?)
ARGH!
*taking deep breaths*

But, Mom! How can you be a petty bureaucrat if you aren't petty to begin with?
