ten thingss i hate about academics
1. they believe that they matter
2. they believe that they matter more than ANYONE ELSE
3. they whinge and moan and bitchh and complain if the windows in their bedrooms aren't big enough
4. they think that being paid to travel to another country and attend a fully funded conference is an imposition
5. they rarely say thank you
6. they believe their own publicity
7. they think that it is witty to make fun o f other, normal people
8. they travel in packs. and they like it
9. they use their titles when they introduce themselves to others
10. they are here with me instead of the people i'd rather be with.

On the bright side I think you personally will get to go to that very special hell for people who talk at the opera rather than the heaven for academics :-)
