Ugh, I spent all day yesterday thinking it was Friday. Same thing today. This is NOT. GOOD.
Timelies. Surprisingly no gronklies, but my internal calendar is on the fritz apparently.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I wonder if the faculty association is/was trying to keep him in that job in order to discourage termination for cause, which would erode rights of tenure?
Yeah, I suspect that's it, but in this case, protecting the right of one of their members to sabotage their other members seems silly.

PR: I thought that Guadalupe was giving some pre-planned message to a friend -- i.e., she was going to say that no matter what she was asked. (She is very very odd.) I wanted more of what the eliminated ones were up to. I loved the musical!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, Jen! I was just thinking about you last night. Take care of yourself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent, Jen! Take it easy, eh?

Yay, Jen!
Thinking it's Friday on a Wednesday is Bad, but thinking it's Friday on a Wednesday when you had a Monday holiday is Double-Plus Ungood.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Great to hear good news from you, Jen. Take it easy, and let others pamper you if you can.

I'm glad things are looking good, Jen.
I'm still checking out possible job leads (hope's springing, well, not quite eternal, but possibly hope's shuffling in a zombie-like manner). It's a bad sign when you click on the description of a potential job and start MST3King it by the second sentence. On the otherhand, that would seem to suggest they really do need that communications professional.

I mean, aside from the difficulty he's going to have getting employ anywhere else. Talk about a hostile work environment.
eh, academia is a funny place. Hostility towards "colleagues" is practically the norm, and far from the exception. I've seen shouting matches, and heard of outright threats. Nora's right, plus there's the slippery slope of the fact that he did it from his office (idiot!), so calls in to question activities done at work, etc.
