Maybe the uniqueness of academia is not being “results oriented,” but in expecting anything different. “What about all the articles I thought of writing but didn’t?” Why don’t those count? I’ve seen that attitude a lot in academia, even among colleagues excusing others their lack of publications.

“So sad, about Wendy.”
“Yes, poor thing. She always did have a thing for Puccini.”
“And ice cream!”
“The ushers kept telling her not to eat vanilla ice cream in our box. I never cared, because with that bloody cough, she only had a few months anyway”
“She could have lived much longer, you know.”

“Can we go by the consumptive colony? For lunch and old time’s sake?”
“Oh, why the hell not.”
