Wait. Y'all. I was ON THE HIRING COMMITTEE. I didn't have it when it happened but I guess my day old new title promotion is worth some shit. Besides money.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Nice, sarameg

I was all, sure, I'll sit in on the interviews,..then my opinion was solicited and it just all now made me realize.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I feel like I just hit the definition of middle-age, work wise: I'm surprised (and appalled??) when anyone younger than me is in charge of anything, and also surprised when anyone older than me is not in a position of authority. BOTH OF WHICH REACTIONS ARE STUPID. And both of which will continue to happen for the next 20 years.

Omg. Second day of five and already I am super tempted to call in sick to work. Can't handle this 6am nonsense. If it was a hour long thing I'd go back to sleep after, but it lasts until around noon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
6 hours starting at 6 am? Yikes.
That's funny, Jesse. Maybe as time goes on and there are just more people around who are younger than you it won't bother your lizard brain?

Yeah, it's supposed to be training me on my new job but I'm having a real hard time focusing. Can't entirely check out (both because it's important and because they have us occasionally break into groups and "discuss")

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, it's like you suddenly discovered a hidden superpower.

I am finding that some people of the younger generation are strangely resistance to some uses of the computer - for example we have initiated an online database for all sorts of forms that student organizations are required to fill out. This should make things so much more convenient for students because they don't have to wander all over campus getting stuff signed and yet: they are very reluctant to use the system.
Perhaps if it was an app. . .

Yeah, I hope that's right.

Yikes is right! Are there non-US people involved? Because otherwise it's pretty shitty to have West Coast people working on East Coast time if that's not what you signed up for.
