In academia too, when you pass a certain threshold of seniority, your emails become like this:

```

FROM: $ProfBigShot

TO: $PoorPhDStudent

Come visit me tomorrow at 2pm

Sent from my iPhone

```



Don't forget that the prof will almost certainly misspell the PhD student's name!


And may have the time and/or day wrong :S

Show up, prof is busy, says they meant the next day/hour/etc


this!


once a professor misspelled my name 3 times in 1 email! I was impressed.


if they even write their name
