PhD Comic

Is it my imagination, or did the latest PhD comic change?

office space

Previously, I believe the faculty office was in the milddle (w/o a window) and the grad student office was on the outside (presumably w/ a window), and the word "morning" was not crossed out and changed. Is it just me?

ETA: It's not just me, whew!

I have no idea since I didn't see this comic until you posted it, but it seems like it makes more sense this way... you're taking the long route around to avoid having to go by the faculty office. If your office were on the outside, you wouldn't have to, or even want to, take the long way around.

The other version (as I recall it) had the advisor's office first in the middle block, and the grad student one after, so you would still take the long way around to avoid the advisor's office. I'm thinking he made the change (if it really did occur) b/c the first way the grad student would've had a window.

Ahhhhh, I see!
