Promotion Blues

I found out today that every full-time psychology teacher who applied for promotion at my college this year was promoted. Except for me. That's six people in all, six people (and their dogs (and their canaries)) who are better that I am (only one of whom has a Ph.D. in psychology, as I myself do).

Other than a ravaged self-esteem, the humiliation of not being promoted when all my psychology colleagues were, not getting the raise that goes along with the promotion I didn’t get, being a year behind those who did get promoted in being able to apply for a full professorship, I’m taking this pretty well.

By God Man! Had I realized you felt this bad, we would have gone for titties and beer instead of intellectual hogwash over coffee!

Does your life stink?
Then get a drink!

Hensley, just b/c u don't KISS ASS, doesn't make u a shitty professor, it just means u don't kiss ass, and frankly, that's quite an accomplishment in this day and age. I have learned more from your lectures then all the other professors combined, and b/c u selflessly teach REAL material instead of reading from the book, u've been punished. COME TO OSU!!!
