(i) Introduction I’ve been cancelled twice, in 2003 and 2019. For entirely different reasons, I’ve been in tenure trouble twice, at UCLA and at Indiana University, though I was smoothly promoted to full professor five years later (the committee chair said it was the most lightly documented and easiest case he’d ever seen), then given an endowed chair (endowed by Dean Dalton himself, anonymously), and later had that chair yanked out from under me (its funding vanished; I’ll write up the story some day). I’ve had lots of adventures with academic administrators doing strange things.
I just came across something I'd add to the essay above:
13. Don't worry about what strangers think. They aren't thinking about you at all. Everyone is busy thinking about themselves. Except maybe your parents and grandparents. Which is why you should call them often. **Wink wink** (https://twitter.com/FoundationDads/status/1726604551342428454)
