“Welcome to my grad lounge,” said the spider to the fly.

I received this e-mail message from my department today:
We have recently learned that this week is “Graduate Student Appreciation Week.” The Graduate Office would like to express appreciation for each of you. Please stop by the Graduate Lounge on Thursday, April 8, 3:00 - 5:00 for a special “treat.”
Why do the quotation marks around the word “treat” fill me with an odd sense of forboding — as if I’m being led into a trap or similar skullduggery?

Because they don’t do nice things for you in the “grad lounge. Departments in general don’t do nice things for their grad students. Or maybe that was just at FSU…
Aw, that’s weak! We get a “reception”!
Kris: Is it a reception with sketchy quotation marks, or the real deal?
ha! I suffer from comment box retardation syndrome
It’s minus the quotation marks… but with all our sketchy student union and grad assembly members, the quotations are implied!
