Me, when I hear the phrase 'student experience' in the midst of a global pandemic

Me, when I remember 'space' and something about hands... but not the other bit

Me, observing the local lockdown when everyone else appears to be having house parties

Me, when I'm told that universities are re-opening, and then they aren't, whilst in actual fact they have been fully open since this shitshow began

Me, when I'm lectured about 'building back better' by people who didn't build it properly in the first place

Me, back in the office after social distancing has been rescinded, and Dave from accounts is getting a little 'handsy'

Me, when Zoom quizzes are once again being mentioned in the group chat, and I'm resisting the urge to say that I'd rather poke my eyes out with a cocktail stick
