Dear Associate Dean,

the minutes from the weekly meeting of Departmental Chairs state that I attended the meeting. I did not because I’m not a Chair.

Or maybe I should start listening to my phone messages in case I have been appointed and didn’t notice.

P.S. The Associate Dean writes back:

But you were there!

I was close to considering the possibility that I’m insane, but at the time of the meeting I was teaching my class and have 17 witnesses to that effect.

P.P.S. I’m now wondering if I can list being at the meeting as part of my service efforts.
