So the daughter got her A-Level results today (all fine, thanks for asking) and it

[Burney]

Ah yes, I meant to ask. Please proffer salaams and congratulations as appropriate.

Good job it all went well otherwise it might have been a bit of a drama, eh? Drama! Ha!

Very good. Yes, my daughter will be studying plays for three years.

You'd almost think she's doing it deliberately to annoy me, wouldn't you?

I can't tell you how often the thought of you fewmin' away tickles me.

She talks about 'performance pieces' and 'spaces'. It makes me want to disown her.

Be fair though, you spent three years reading novels And now you quote Joyce, ffs.

Will the Bank Of Berni be financing these three years as well?

Natch.

Natch.

Well I'd suggest she get to Hollywood pronto so that her dues can be paid.

It's ok, though. If she can't land a job as a google developer after that it'll be the patriarchy's fault so she might be in line for some compensation.

To be fair to her, she's reasonably level-headed about it. She tries to appease me by saying that industries like drama graduates, as they know how to present themselves, etc, etc.

Possibly something in that. A colleague of mine did drama. She has excellent 'people skills', for want of a better description, and works well with everyone. Started as a receptionist and now heads a department. This may have more to do with her as an individual rather than her choice of degree but sometimes we have to act roles rather than be ourselves.
