Today I got to use the term "temporal displacement" in a Sociology assignment. It was in a discussion of an article about how working for a twenty-four-hour resort can really fuck up the schedule a person lives on, putting them out of sync with most of the world.

Can't say that I ever expected being a Doctor Who fan to come in handy for Sociology.

It is the magic of science fiction!

(I feel like someone somewhere keeps score of this kind of thing. The prize must be awesome.)

I think the prize should be getting to be that person's successor, because how much fun would that be?

I had a moment of thinking you meant successor to the person working at a 24-hour resort, which, ow.

But yes! Learning of all the moments in which sci-fi/fantasy/way out of place stuff comes in handy in other areas of academia = WIN.

I will not deny that.
