You probably need to have spent time working in what we are pleased to call Higher Education to appreciate it, but if you have, I guarantee--double your money back--that you'll enjoy the Unknown Professor's post, "Faculty Meeting Bingo".

It features "Let me give a little institutional background" guy, the "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" guy, the by-laws guy, and "a spirited discussion . . . about changing ONE word on a document that (at most) two people will ever read".

Simply great.

Love it! Reminds me of all the pointless faculty meetings I attended during my 37 years of being a professor. It made me recall the famous line about how, "Academic arguments are so nasty because the stakes are so low"

This Bingo would be way too easy to win. I'd totally fill my card in the first 30 minutes. Personally, every time I now hear the word 'stakeholder' the first thought that comes to my mind is putting a stake thru the heart of the person who said it.
