Skewbrow:
Seconding this. When I was a graduate student, my social circle consisted only of math grad students and their significant others. Comes naturally when a bunch of people relocate themselves across the globe to go to grad school.
pwhodges:
Some work environments can have the same effect, though. The more intensive computer workplaces of my working life would probably qualify.
TheEvilDog:
Poll Results!
Faye- 6 (10.7%)
Bubbles- 1 (1.8%)
Amanda- 11 (19.6%)
Evie- 13 (23.2%)
Someone else (Please list)- 1 (1.8%)
All of the above!- 24 (42.9%)
I suppose everyone did screw up somehow this last week.
Well, lets see how they top that over the coming week.

--- Quote from: A small perverse otter on 20 Jan 2018, 15:00 ---I notice a lot of people hating on Evie for her utterly clueless, obnoxious, and appalling behavior towards Bubbles. Her behavior is inexcusable, but natural.
Any graduate student in the grips of their dissertation research, in any domain, lives that work. It's all that matters -- it is your life, at least if you actually want to get those extra three letters. Evie is just behaving naturally. (Trust me: it was a good thing for me that many of my friends during my last year of my graduate studies were also dissertators. They understood why I kept going on about things that they knew nothing about and would not have cared about if they did know anything about them.)
So, yes, Evie's a total jerk in so many ways, and her behavior is inexcusable. Unfortunately, inexcusable or not, it is understandable.

Thirded (and the relocation bit seems strictly optional)
And that's before accounting for the "proneness for monomania" that comes with my particular brand of congenital non-standard neurology ...

--- End quote ---
She never complained about the price of the butt, just that she had to pay for it in the first place, despite it being an emergency. And then she got Arthur to pay for it because her wallet was eaten by a leopard seal.
