Your comment does remind me of the time I visited a CS grad student at a local university for some programming tutoring in the mid-90s. He had an office! It was about the size of a closet, but there was a door and everything.

How do you get the impression that this is a grad student?

He's working on his dissertation.

Now that I think about it some more, I do recall seeing places where grad students did have their own personal closets...

They say so, right above "Never: come in without knocking."

Thanks. Somehow my brain just kept sliding right over that word even after re-reading it multiple times. What the fuck is up with that?
