The man has had a very busy day. 10 interviews and then data entry for all of them. I'm going to sleep but will have to catch up tomorrow, which won't extra extra horrible because I'll only have to input 4 left over from today and 4 from tomorrow. Awesome!
Let me tell you, it was so great being back in academia today. My current client is a small private university and I was on campus all day today talking with deans and faculty members. The faculty members were especially enlightening - "That's very interesting Dr. [name], I had no idea how important [insert their academic department] is to the university and how vital funding for [insert their meaningless research] is to the future of the school." I don't know what I enjoyed the most, hearing about life-or-death battles for space in the academic buildings or the heartbreaking tale of one faculty member believes that being he does not have to give to the capital campaign because he is already doing his part in the fundraising battle by being a good teacher and making students feel warm thoughts about the university, which will eventually develop into the nostalgic feelings that motivate graduates to become donors to the university. You know, it probably was the guy who just happened to mention that he was at UNC-Chapel Hill before taking his current position - I was so impressed that I totally forgot that he was teaching a 4-4 course load at the rinky-dink school he's at right now.
