Gurl talk

So... this just happened:

Her: Guuuuuurl! my husband has just been named DEAN!!
Me: I knooooooow gurl! congrats! should I call you 'First Lady' now?
Her: Haha... You know it gurl!
Me: Huge responsiblity, huh?
Her: That's what they said once he accepted: it's the second most honorable title at the University, good name BUT with an incredibly huge work load, extra long hours, same paycheck, 10 scheduled meetings per week, giving up his research projects... how lucky are we?
Me: I'm pretty sure the other person proposed by the Chair of Directors and the University President is truly happy your guy won.
Her: Lucky bastard. I'll be sure to thank him when, if I ever meet him.
Me: In that case... you're welcome?
Her: ...
Me: ...
Her: I never meant the "bastard" part. I know I love you gurl.
Me: I know gurl.

Yeah, I was first runner-up for Dean.
Again.
Yeah, I was offered the position two years ago.

And I said "It'll be an honor, but not yet... I'll let you know when".
Again.
And they said: "Ok".
Again.
