Commencement

December 10th, 2009 | 11:49pm by Jim Bliss

Just a quickie… I’m heading into Trinners tomorrow (that’s Trinity College, Dublin for the uninitiated) in order to wear a very silly outfit and have a piece of paper handed to me confirming what we already knew… that I’ve spent more time than is sensible reading books about group psychodynamics and am now a bit of an expert on the subject. Yay me! After which there will be feasting and merriment.

Have a splendid day y’all. I certainly intend to, even if I have to wear a bow-tie.

  1. Yay you! Yay for irresponsible reading too. Feast and be merry.

  2. Excellence!

  3. A bit late, but yay you again and enjoy taking that “semi” off your strapline.

  4. Say hi to Hubie.

  5. Am I the only one who thinks that Philip’s advice to ‘enjoy taking that “semi” off your strapline’ sounds really rude?

  6. A bit late, but yay you again and enjoy taking that “semi” off your strapline.

    I did indeed, Philip. Not perhaps in the sense that Merrick imagined, though perhaps Freud might differ on that.

    I feel a little bit of a cheat calling myself a “psychoanalyst” as I’ve not done the requisite practical training to receive patients (and may never do so). But I’ve got the piece of paper that says I know the theory, so I guess as long as I don’t say I’m a “clinical” psychoanalyst I’m probably OK.
