overheard

"So long as one has a resolution to the issue of feeling like one has meaning and purpose to life, a faculty gig at a research university is the best job in the world. I continue to be amazed that there are people with this job who have a sense of entitlement inflated enough to complain they are underpaid."
"I know a professor who regularly complains about being underpaid to her department's secretaries."
"She will be among the first against the wall when the revolution comes."
"Which will be especially surprising to her since she sees herself as on the side of the revolution."
