He's just being goofy on this one, but I appreciate him being willing to talk while working (he's mopping the kitchen floor; I'm downloading a book on the History of Linguistics, chapter by chapter).
Me, grumbling: "I didn't know the Romans were so into linguistics. That's why Rome fell."
Him: "Yes. Must have been it. They were too busy working out the differences between the optative and the subjunctive, and then the barbarians overran the gates."

I stood in front of his study room, twisting from side to side and revealing how I felt stuck and useless.
"It makes sense that you're feeling bad," he said. "For one thing, David just left for England."
And when I also complained about my shortcomings this week in writing and to-do lists and job searches, he encouraged me to do a specific thing: "I think you had a good idea before - why not write your former prof about job leads?"
(Two former profs. But after I talked to him, I did this - finally mustering_my_courage after delaying a whole week, however much I quibbled over little words like "regards.")
