special lols provided by today
my special question of the day was to ask when he wanted my Annual Progress Report in by. due 31st October, he's supposed to confirm it before it's handed in. So first he jokes today. And then he jokes that 30th is good enough. And then he's like...nah! just a couple of days before will be good. And then he's like come to think of it, why don't you write it: Donna is doing marvellously! She'll be done by the end of the year! And then i'm like, sure! and i'll write the same for you! {supervisor} is doing marvellously!

note this is going in with random stranger sitting in the room. looking like O_O
