I’m doing a write-up on a survey of the opinions of faculty in my unit and discover that one person says that the Chair doesn’t meet with them informally.

“Who, who is this ungrateful bastard?” I bellow. “Who is so eager for a meeting with me, and should I grant their wish immediately in a very painful manner?”

Then I remember that I also was surveyed, and the ungrateful bastard who didn’t report any meetings with me was quite obviously… me.

    Clearly, you need to have more informal meetings with yourself!

    “the ungrateful bastard”

    you should be the bigger person and take the ungrateful bastard to an all day spa or a few long walks in the woods with Klara…. that’ll learn her!

    So you do have meetings with yourself after all! 🙂

    Does this mean you only meet with yourself formally?

      Yes, I refuse to talk to myself unless I call myself “my very esteemed colleague Professor Such and Such.” 🙂
