To alleviate my NCTE FOMO and work smarter, I treated myself to a gaming keyboard for #ProfessorLife, #ChairLife, and over the holidays, finally resuming #AuthorLife.
The ASMR on this thing is REAL! I've had a SecretLab gaming chair since the pandemic, and now...

Two and a half more weeks of term and then I can mostly check out til January — and I’m not teaching again til April. I think I can, I think I can. 🚂🚂🚂🚂 #ChairLife
My committment on motion. A week in the life as @scdemocrats.bsky.social Chair.
#Chairlife
Student complains about a 75 for a paper that did not meet my dept colleague's standards for citation or length, and is almost certainly AI-generated. Demands that his work be regraded to receive an 80. Non-compliance will prompt him to take his grievances to the media. I wish him well. #ChairLife
Made a kickin’ spreadsheet today. #chairlife
Yesterday! Thrilled and grateful to be #FinallyFull. #ProfessorLife #ChairLife #ForeverGoBlue 💛💙
A German Shepherd dog is lying curled up and sleeping in a gray fabric armchair. The dog's head is resting on the armrest, and its paws are draped over the side. The chair is in a home living room setting.

A fluffy white cat is sleeping soundly on a black chair. Its paws are tucked under its head, and it appears to be completely relaxed. The cat is surrounded by a small table with a blue vase of yellow flowers, a glass teapot, other glass containers, and a bottle of liquor. The background is a muted green wall.

That’s #chairlife right there
Productive Spring Break staycation day. Caught up on #ChairLife stuff.
It's chilly here so I made a hot chocolate... then spiked it with Bailey's and Fire Jack when I started scrolling the TL. Thinking, "yeah, lemme sip THEN read..."
Spent all morning dealing with administrative emails (including documenting "efficiency" data) -- still 10 days before semester begins. 0/10 do not recommend. #Chairlife
I am currently attempting to edit in iMovie. (Can’t use my #ProfessorLife or #ChairLife resources for this new hobby, nor U-M software.)
I’ve learned this week that video editing software is either:
a) quick learning curve, but expensive
b) free but expert level
Also, digital cameras = 💸💸💸!
If your chair starts floating, it's probably just trying to elevate the conversation. #FurnitureWisdom #FloatingThoughts #ChairLife
I want to attend the session on the new project on Indigenous enslavement but as chair should attend the humanities recruitment workshop. #ChairLife #NHC2024
Why would you read or choose to look at it? Just saying..
perhaps its the #chairlife
Very long day in #ProfessorLife and #ChairLife. Trying to shake off two matters arising:
1. Being chair is uncompensated "damned if you do; damned if you don't" (see the Netflix series!).
2. To quote my research partner, "It's one thing not to be consulted, it's quite another not to be informed!"
😂😭... story of my #ProfessorLife and #ChairLife since 2014!
9:00 am EST and I already ate the lunch I brought in.

...burning the midnight oil... this song will forever be on my #ProfessorLife (and now #ChairLife) soundtrack!

As someone who relaxes from #ProfessorLife, #ChairLife, and #amwriting by watching HGTV and home vids.. WORD.

It’s registration week. #chairlife #seatefficiency #maytheoddseverbeinyourfavor #zomgmylifeisoverifidontgetthatsection #youllbefinetrusttheprocess
During an average work week, I spend between 12 and 24 hours in meetings.
This week's moderate: according to my calendar, it's just 16.3 hours.
That's what happens when #ProfessorLife becomes #ChairLife!
