I'm not to proud to admit it.
I've never seen this method of wooing before.

--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 29 Jul 2014, 08:18 ---Why should he have higher ambitions? We've never heard him express a desire to do a particular job (not a realistic one anyway). All he really wants to do is play music, and a higher-pressure job would reduce his opportunity to do that, not increase it. Everything that he's said he wants to change about his life can be achieved as easily or more easily in his current job.

You know, thank you for bringing up that concept. If you have work that's at least not unenjoyable and supports you and maybe yours and you do it well enough that the ones who pay you want to keep you around, who is anyone else to judge? I have a couple ambitions I want to fulfill but I am currently living a hell of a lot better than when I was making more money, had a title that looked like it ought to be impressive, and was donating at least 20 extra hours a week to mouthbreathers who were interested mainly in how much posterior I had kissed that day ...
Is it cold in here?:

He could always tactfully appeal to the trustees but I don't think his mind works that way.

Are there not a couple of trustees who see Marten's tactful silence as worth buying?

Also, this strip shoots down two ships, one of which I was not on board with (for the same reasons as Marten portrays in this strip), one of which I was.

He brings up the intern thing a lot. I think it'd hold more water if the interns weren't pretty much unofficially higher up the totem pole then he is. Marten does not wield the power in the library. He can't coerce interns to sleep with him and they can't try and get special treatment dating him. There's no real ethical conflict there.
So each time he says it it does feel more like backing down on Claire or sinking the ship or whatever than a legitimate thing, even if that isn't the case.

He brings it up a lot for someone who isn't interested in any interns.
I really hope this is readl but on the other hand I think it's a little bizarre even for QC.
