Highlights of this week

On Wednesday night, I ran into the grad student teaching History of Mathematics.

grad student: How did you find Descartes?
me: Descartes? ... Oh, is that what our reading for tomorrow is about?

Friday morning, I was interviewing for Microsoft.

me: "I run Linux on a Mac."
[few seconds later]
me (in my head): *oops*
