This story takes place during the events of "Life without Penny". Everything belongs to Lorre and Prady. Part 2, promotion.
#################################
Early in the New Year all of the Caltech Physics researchers were gathered in the large Physics seminar room to find out who had been promoted to tenured Professor. The head of the Caltech Physics department, Professor Gablehauser, was with Janine Davis from Human Resources. Gablehauser began to speak.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I can confirm that the Dean of Caltech Science has agreed to promote two of you to tenured Professors. These promotions will be backdated to the start of this year. Could you please hand over the envelopes Mrs Davis."
Gablehauser opened the first envelope.
"Congratulations to our first new Professor, Dr. Leslie Winkle! Could you please come up to the front Professor Winkle."
Leslie gave Leonard a big hug and a kiss before she went up to the front to join Gablehauser.
Gablehauser then opened the second envelope.
"Congratulations to our second new Professor, Dr. Sheldon Cooper! Could you also please come up to the front Professor Cooper."
Sheldon joined Leslie at the front, he shook hands with Gablehauser and then reluctantly shook hands with Leslie.
"So congratulations Professor Winkle."
"You too Professor Dumbass."
Leslie was soon surrounded by lots of her colleagues offering her congratulations. Sheldon walked out of the seminar room alone.
