Judging from my NASCAR picks yesterday, the "T" word is certainly NOT TALLADEGA. :ymsick: :veryconfused:

Must get another Schlafly's Coffee Raspberry Stout to celebrate.

Congratulations, Associate Professor Lavabe!

We should have another of our online chat room parties to celebrate - or, at the very least, a 10 p.m. toast.

1) Congrats on the T word!
2) Did my Ouija board predict that also?

Ah... that's the "P" word (promotion).
We have two options over here. We can go for both tenure AND promotion (to associate), or we can just go for the tenure. Given my lack of articles, I decided to put off promotion a year or two, and I wound up applying and receiving tenure.
SO, no promotion, but the job security has been secured. :D

I'm not ignoring the newly endowed perfessor, I already congratulated him via text. This makes it public and "official." Next ones on me, Prof.

Next step=Dean? Chancellor? President?

"Czar of the Universe."

I am going to be "Czarina of the Universe" someday, but I am okay with Lavabe being my predecessor.

I like the fact that you have that option and that your university obviously recognizes the quality person that they have on-board. :-BD ^:)^

My career path might have been far different if the "tenure without promotion" option had been available to me. But, alas, it was not, so I've had the opportunity to dwell in the worlds of Supervisor Barbie, NuBarbie, The Minion, PushyPI, PHB, BarMinion, Road Runner, MacGyver, and Wile E. Coyote. What an interesting ride it has been!
