You know what rules? Having something on your schedule that you don’t want to do, that is stressing you out, and just going “I’d rather not” and not doing it. I’m embracing the “I’d rather not” lifestyle. - ThreadSky

what makes it even sweeter (this has happened to me) is when it's subsequently canceled through no action of your own

I feel seen by this post. I also make a big production about how I was willing to do the socializing, but alas it was cancelled. So it counts.

Man all you guys know about something called Bartleby the Scrivener and I feel like I should look it up to be as smart as you but I’d just rather not

Hahaha, a fellow humanities grad student LOVED Bartleby and the story became some sort of Marxist literary metaphor in a bunch of theory I read, possibly even Hardt & Negri's "Empire" which was The Thing to Read in W-era grad programs.
