My husband is a physics professor, and he crits all my stuff, and his crits are brutal. Because he loves me, or so he says. He's just been made the chair of the executive committee, and I fear a departmental chair may be in his future, though he dreads it. Cheers! Heh.

That thing about your wife using your book as bedtime reading... That's pretty mind blowing. :) Wow. That thing about your wife using your book as bedtime reading… That’s pretty mind blowing. :)

This year I'm up for full prof. I get a sabbatical this spring, which is the only thing that's been saving me. But here, there's no release time, no extra pay. So it's merely an added (huge as you know) burden. Gah! It gives me nightmares. I’ve got tenure. This year I’m up for full prof.

Laura's been dreading it for a couple of years too. It's been pretty clear that it would fall on her once she got tenure. We call it being the chair apparent. When the time comes, if you want to chat with someone who's been there, let me know and I'll hook you up with Laura. Diana, you have my condolences on the chair thing.

Teach you to put them on the shelf where just anybody can find them. And you just nailed my greatest fear. No, not the spousal reading, the becoming chair of the department. I believe in a year or two they will ask me to do that. NO NO NO NO NO! Heh. Teach you to put them on the shelf where just anybody can find them. And you just nailed my greatest fear.
