I still have one year left as department Chair but I’m being deposed and the department is being merged with English. I’m supposed to fight to save the department, and I am but the anticipatory joy of no longer being Chair after June 30 is intoxicating. Not having to care about anybody else’s enrollments except for my own would be wonderful. Or anybody else’s problems of any kind.
I’m trying to make myself so odious to the administration that they will welcome me stepping down as Chair prematurely even if the department is preserved. As everybody here on the blog understands, antagonizing the administration is one of my biggest skills in life.
