Feeling young again
I know these stories will eventually stop happening, so I guess I need to record them when they do.
I had asked the departmental secretary to type up a summary table of graduate school applications that had come in. When I went to pick up a copy of the table, she wasn't around--but the undergraduate assistant who had actually prepared the table was. (He wasn't a student I had met before.) He printed me out a copy of the table, and as he handed me the table, he asked, "So, are you working with Dr. Colton on this?"
The implication was definitely that he thought I was one of Dr. Colton's student assistants. :-)
