I postponed my Oxford degree ceremony for 3 years. Two weeks ago I finally went, and I brought backup.
Backup was Pupu. As far as I could tell, he was the only dog there.
The ceremony marked 8 years at Oxford: a maths degree, then an engineering PhD. Then I put my hat on Pupu, and people started congratulating him.
It took me 8 years to earn that hat. Pupu just had to wear it.
P.S. Pupu is now open to work.
@andrew_sereda Voice input sounds especially useful for shared expenses. 'I paid for dinner' is the easy bit; 'who was included?' is where it gets interesting.
