I love Robots!
When I left home today, Spike was cleaning the kitchen floor and the dishwasher was doing dishes.
Robots are the best thing ever.
Also, one of my students emailed me and addressed me as professor (which I most definately not. I could use the title Dr., as I have a PhD, but a professor is a different kettle of fish and is a job title, rather than an education title).
Shall I give him bonus suckup marks?

Yes, Professor Doctor Bob, you should give bonus points!
It doesn't matter to them. If you are teaching the class, you are their professor. Unless you would prefer they call you Dr. Bob. *grin*
The kids get 5 hours of teaching a week. Three hours is lectures to the whole class (500 students) taght by the prof.
Two hours is tutorials with 20 students that I teach. I prepare some material and answer questions, but it's much more informal.
So while I teach the class, I don't really teach the class.
Oh! I thought you were teaching it. In that case, have them call you Dr. Bob!
I just have my students call me HD... Then again, I am not entitled to Dr. or Prof. yet.
I introduced myself as Bob and sign my name as Bob on emails, so I'm not sure where Professor deChemist came from.
Maybe I radiate smartness.
Which is odd because I thought I kinda radiated blond fluffiness.
Well, I don't actually call myself Bob, as that may confuse them.
I mean, as Bob isn't actually my name.
*hands Bob (or whatever your name is) another tequila*
*starts to radiate drunkenness*
BTW, I'm going to party tonight and am looking forward to it.
I may drink.
How many suckup points does one get for bestowing an elevated title upon a PhD TA (or whatever you're called)?
Swami <--- not expecting points today.
