My Paperweight Art.

  • Mar. 9th, 2006 at 2:03 PM
I know many of you are curious, and indeed, jealous, of my paperweight, so I thought I would share.





I call it, PaperWeight (Symbolic Gesture About Doctorate that Looks like Literary Award; Made From Glass, Mass Produced and Kept in Piles in the Closet, It Awaits You). Which is kinda longish, and I should really shorten it down some. Still.

Look at in from a different angle - you have a mighty fine murder weapon there.

Look, it's a lovely paperweight. I got a Swiss army knife with my doctorate, which was mighty brave of my committee, but paperweight's good too.

a swiss army knife, huh? did it come with the cork screw and such? cause if it came with the whole lot, and was once of those swish knives, i think you might be the winner of 'things i got when i handed in my doctorate' poll.

It's bootiful. You have to work here for 20 years (possibly 25) before they give you a hunk of rock.

Huh. Even the same university that I got my degree from. I wonder whether they were introduced in the last few years or whether they just weren't afforded to those of us based at outlying campuses.

i believe i'm one of the first people to have one. guy i know who submitted at the end of last year didn't have one--and my supervisor was talking about how before that, there was nothing.

I call it, PaperWeight... I should really shorten it down some.

How about calling it "Glam Rock"?

They had something similar when I worked at Citibank. They gave them out as 'Service Excellence' awards. Need I add these were very nearly immediately known as the SEX awards?

You'll have to come up with a nifty acronym (you're a writer, after all!) because SGADTLLLAMFGMPAKIPITCIAY is just too hard to pronouce.
