Second most interesting man in the world.
Just made tenure at Old Dominion University!
Big relief. Academics obsess about tenure with good reason. If you fail to achieve it, you have a year to clear out. One of my colleagues failed to make it at roughly the same time as me, and he just left this week. His job prospects are not stellar as a result of this failure.
This was a 6-year gestation. Little-known fact: the human professor is the mammal with the longest gestation period.
