Right...wait, what?

My coworker asked our facilitator the difference between USU and U of U, because the facilitator attended both places, and my coworker is curious about things like this.

The reply was excruciatingly funny.

For half an hour, our facilitator talked about the class he's teaching this fall, the classes he taught last year, the way the No Child Left Behind program is affecting what students are expecting from universities these days, how many articles he's written and how his King Lear article is required reading for some German professor...

I have no idea what else he talked about. I wasn't really paying attention. My coworker actually left me alone with the facilitator for a while.

And at the end of the conversation, when the facilitator was trying to make a conclusion to his monologue, he said:

"So that's uh...that's...well that's just um...something interesting."

He couldn't remember what his point was or what he was talking about or why he was talking! It was so funny!

So he just moved on to another topic.

Let me say that made me LOL in caps.

I actually made faces behind his back while he was facing my coworker. That was the best part of the day.

Anyway, 30 minute monologue. At least 30 minutes.

And I can laugh because I do it too.
