Going Aggy...

A few weeks in an Aggy campus brings some interesting things to note after a few years away from such settings:
- unoffficial dress code: blue shirts with name of institute embroidered on pocket (not too popular with the women-folk though, I must say).
- 2 popular times for making meetings: after morning tea (which everyone has at 10:45), or after lunch. Don't expect any other time to be kept. Location of meeting will always be vague, as will duration of meeting. Don't expect them to come and find you.
- food outlets nearby - Cobbitty Art Gallery and Tea Rooms, Cobbitty General Store (they make good sandwiches I hear), and food and drink vending machines in lunch room. Food vending machine is unreliable, or so I found out late one day when getting a bit vague with hunger, and using my last $2.
- friendly, science geeky, earthy.
- signs in ladies toilets: "These toilets are smelly - you might want to use the other ones" complete with little graphic of toilet. Not sure if this is unselfconscious humour or a genuine attept to warn us without consideration of tactlessness.
Kind of like William Shatner's (of original StarTrek fame) psychadelic version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - you don't know if he's taking the piss out of himself, or recording the track with a conviction that he is creating art and will be taken seriously. Remind us to play the track for you if you are at all interested. Worth a laugh.
Am embarrassed in advance for next female guest I need to entertain on campus when nature calls for her, and wonder what could possibly be stuck up in the male toilets...
