Joy. Now I've been instructed to deal with the tenured faculty. Dude, do your own dirty work.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sparky, that's unbelievable. Ugh.

I just mapped a 1 mile walk in my neighborhood and i think I am taking the dog on a walk when I get home. The goal is to be able to jog a couple of miles on the road in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(That's one of the downsides of being a working parent, to me: I feel like I "owe" her all my time on the weekends because I don't spend weekdays with her, so when she's home, she's usually doing something with either M or me, and doesn't spend as much time amusing herself as she could.)
This is interesting -- I just heard a thing about a study that shows that children of middle-class working parents today spend more time with their parents than children of middle-class housewives did in the 50s/60s. (I'm also interested in the switch from housewife to SAHM, which tells sort of the same story...) Granted, that includes older children than yours!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
So, the tenured faculty will not have offices at all? That seems odd. We have a formula here to determine if you get an office, a shared (2 person office) or a group office, and I am pretty sure tenure gets you an office WITH a meeting area in it.

so one of the houses near me that was for sale is now for rent. $1350/month which I figure 2 of you all could split easily AND BE MY NEIGHBORS!!
In my made up world everyone can work from home or just move their job.
But seriously, 3 BR, 2 Bath for $1350 AND ME!!!

Because books.

But in those days children also spent more time with each other, too.

A strong tolerance for ambiguity is a must as well.
That's considered a valuable skill where I work!
Mostly in a "big complex systems and ideas and not being afraid to fail" kind of way rather than "nobody knows what they're doing, welcome to the shit show."
