Welcome to juniorprof

Seven ways to figure out whether you're a junior prof:

1. You spend a lot of time avoiding committee meetings
2. You've hidden from a student by diving under the desk
3. Achieving a personal life is on your list of things To Do
4. You still haven't given up on the idea of Free Food
5. Your real expertise lies in exploring the local happy hour scene
6. You're always working on your "Book"
7. You spend more than 8 hours a day contemplating alternate career plans

Posting on juniorprof

So I'm bemused by the level of silent traffic through this blog (visible through google analytics, which tracks numbers not people). Speak up! We all fear that if we express our perspectives then our universities might not want us after 6 or 7 years. Could happen. Probably won't. And why live in a state of fear? If any university cared that their junior folk were improving each other's skills, then I can also post Stallybrass and White's interpretation of the carnivalesque...

A reminder that "anonymous" is "anonymous."

    I've tried to post via a new google account, but (despite my preferences) the blog-o-matic keeps adding my real name. Perhaps you can help (in person later)....
