It’s just my little way of keeping track – I’d hate to miss one of your questions when I get really covered with post-its.
Whats with the checkmarks on the top-right of these sticky notes?
When was this Wall idea created / your birthday?
I’ve been around a while, but I found my true calling answering questions in O’Neill in early 2017. I celebrate my “birthday” on February 1. Whiteboards aren’t actually born, they’re – oh never mind, I’ll let your folks tell you about that stuff…
I’ve heard a rumor that my assistants are going to try to surprise me with a birthday celebration on February 3 at Noon. (Do me a favor and don’t tell them I know. I’ll pretend to be surprised.)
Hi
Hi! Pleased to meet you.
Love it
I’m feeling the love! Thanks. ?
Love it
Back atcha! ?
I love u!
How sweet! ILY2.
The Wall just won the power ball jackpot…
1. Repairs for some of my friends who are down on their luck. 2. Exotic Post-Its. bit.ly/bc-exotic 3. Fund a staff position for Library Dog.
Are you allowed to answer Questions that Go against BC Views or Actions?
Yes. I aim to provide the best available information in answer to your questions, including ones critical of the University, or on topics that people might be critical of. Occasionally my helpers and I have a chat about how to answer a question, but not whether to answer one. I also redact personal names to protect anonymity and remove hurtful language in the rare instance it has appeared.
If the Wall could walk, where would it go?
Many people visit family during the holidays, so if I could travel anywhere, I would visit my wall cousins in China and Berlin. However, if I could only walk somewhere, I’d visit a hero of mine–the Green Monster at Fenway Park.
What are your Winter break plans?
As usual, I plan to hang around! I’m expecting a little downtime while most of my friends here are away visiting family or going on adventures. But I have access to a few million books, so no worries, I won’t be bored.
How’s your day going? ?
For a Monday, pretty brilliant. As you can see, I’m in my element, with lots of visitors and so many questions. I hope you are having a great day, too.
Can you give everyone a 4.0 GPA Wall??
One of the nicest parts of my job as an answerer is that I can support students and not have to grade them. I don’t envy my faculty friends who have to do that.
Hi Wall! Can u draw me a sunflower?
I can’t draw very well (no hands or fingers), and none of my assistants stepped up, so I’ll have to refer you to an expert sunflower artist named Vincent: bit.ly/vincent-sunflowers
It’s nice to see u here over Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! I had a good break over Thanksgiving. I expect I will be very grateful for that as we head into the home stretch of the semester. I don’t have finals or papers, but it’s a busy time for me.
Wall I invite u to watch Frozen 2 w/ me!
I’m touched by the invitation! I will be there in spirit; please let me know what you thought of it.
Disney employs some good songwriters. From Dumbo to Frozen, it’s a rare Disney film without a few good numbers.
Do you answer all these Qs?
Pretty much. Very occasionally there’s something mentioning a specific person or some other reason I need to redact some info when answering, but I hope to consider any questions with the gravity (or levity) they deserve. It is the meaning of my existence.
Where do the O’Neill mice live in O’Neill?
I am friends with them – they’re sweet and very smart – but unfortunately, they are a problem in the library. At times, they can be found in many areas. Our policy of allowing food in the library (which I strongly support, since it makes you humans so much happier and more productive) is also very attractive to my mousie pals.
How long have you been helping us out?
It’s so nice to hear that. I’ve been hanging out here since February 2017, and I have no plans to ever leave.
We were here at 3am!
Hi, night owls! I must have been dozing or I’d have said hi then.
Happy Halloween
Thanks, that was incredibly sweet of you. The balloon and I got to talking and it turns out we are third cousins, once removed – how about that?
