cornerofmadnessYay. It's official. I have my tenure. Whirls.
TOday was the last faculty meeting which wasn't actually bad at all, except I felt like hell. If I hadn't wanted to be there for the tenure announcement I wouldn't have gone. Luckily some mint tea helped a lot just in time to go to the contract negotiation meeting. It was supposed to be 30 minutes long. 2 soul-sucking hours later I'm trying to explode heads with my mind.
I was the sent by my chair to secure a table at the white house for our school of science meeting. She liked my idea of doing it over beer and pizza. 2:30 I'm the only person in the bar with my pint of Yeungling black and tan going well it's 5 o'clock somewhere. That was another 2 hour meeting but one well worth having. We've all been tense and I felt like we left on more friendly terms.
Tomorrow I have my MRI on my arm. eep.
