- As I walked slowly to my desk, I pictured myself, as I had done several times before, telling old Voldy I was quitting. Whenever I had the temptation to stop reading the immensely boring editorials and random reading material, I was subjecting myself to these days for my upcoming GDs/interviews, I would picture myself telling Voldy I was out of here and then his possible reactions. It was my favourite daydream.

- It's Halloran. Or as he is more frequently called by the kids around Rosemary Bluffs, Voldy. Named for a certain villain in a certain story about a world of wizards. Trust me, the guy earned the nickname. I've never met anyone so rude. If you held a contest for meanest person in town, Voldy would win every time. Even most adults don't like him.
