Early September: invitation issued by the Provost's Office for a meeting to be held from 11-1 (groan) on a Friday (groan), to help new chairs of programs and departments get on the same page with our friends at the office of Academic Affairs. Lunch will be served (ok, this partially makes up for coming in on a Friday and ruining a whole day for writing or any other kind of intellectual/creative activity.)
Mid-September: notice goes out that the putative meeting has been extended to three hours, 11-2. Suddenly the offer of lunch is failing to allay my sense of impending Doom. Call to unnamed administrator is made by the Radical to express sense of Doom, and is sympathetically received, perhaps because they Know Doom Well over there.
Today: Message that the meeting has been cancelled is received. Cheers break out in isolated locations around campus. Once again, Good has prevailed over Doom.
All is well once more in Zenith's hallowed halls and within her ivied walls.

I think one of the major reasons I would never want to be in university administration has to do with all the unending meetings.
Since this meeting was cancelled, perhaps you'll have time to take my place on our "Cross-Campus Curricular Transfer Committee" -- should be awesome fun.
If any of your Survey students are doing anything related to Am. religious history (broadly defined) and want to guest-post at Religion in American History, please tell them we're open for guests.
Speaking of meetings....
I have just given up on setting aside any day as a work day every week. I wind up with meetings anytime I try to do that. It was a great idea in theory, but once I entered administration, that went out the window. Sigh.
Perhaps the a lot of important allotment of Replica Longines Watches technology goes into the timepiece's movement. Omega is able-bodied accepted for their assembly and ability of movement.The greatest advantage of these artist aggressive watches lies on their low costs after compromising on superior and any added aspects.
