To the extent that we experience discrete moments in our life that result in changes (large and small) this is one of those for me:

Congratulations. The PRT committee just met and voted unanimously for renewal, which in this case means tenure. I am required to notify you within 7 days of our vote so I have attached the notification letter. The letter that goes to the dean is not due until December 9. You will get a copy of that letter when it is transmitted to the dean.
[PRT Committee Chair]
Congrats! What a big year for you!

ReplyDeleteThat's FABULOUS! What a nice early Christmas present! You deserve it for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Yeah! Now you deserve to take a couple months off and get sleep-deprived! :) Really, great job.
ReplyDeleteIs it too late to change my vote? I just realized your a late second wave feminist marxist, and I really need to protect the good old boys club.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I look forward to many years of arguing with you...now that you have been given the same life sentence.
