I got it. Tenure, that is. Just got the official letter yesterday. Thought I should mention it. (What a long strange trip it's been!)

Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby agree to the following as well: by leaving a comment you grant to the proprietors the right to release ALL your comments to this blog under this Creative Commons license (attribution 2.5).

This is retroactive. By publishing ANY comment to this blog, you thereby grant to the proprietors of this blog the right to release any of your comments (made to any blog, at any time, past, present or future) under the terms of the above CC license.

If you do NOT agree to these terms, for pete's sake do NOT leave a comment. It's that simple.
- Confused by our comment policy?We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
Excellent news -- congratulations!

Naw, I'm not quite ready for Network primetime.

Congratulations. Now you can tell us what you *really* think!

Congratulations!
Huh, wow: Singapore for the duration. A long strange trip indeed.
(Greetings to Belle, and to the kids if they remember us: we're expecting our first in November.)

Hey, I'm late to the party, but congratulations! I'm glad, b/c I still harbor ambitions of visiting Singapore one day and sitting in on one of your lectures/visiting Belle's shop.

W00t! May this presage many long years of confusion to your enemies.
Posted by: David Moles | October 08, 2009 at 08:17 PM
Exceptionally awesome news.
Posted by: Timothy Burke | October 10, 2009 at 04:25 AM
Thanks again to everyone! But, following up Dave's comments, sometimes I think to myself: my enemies would be confused even without my help. (And then I sort of wonder what it all means.) But I'm still very glad I got tenure.
Posted by: jholbo | October 10, 2009 at 10:04 AM
Congratulations! I hope you are experiencing post-tenure as a real state, not merely an absence of a dreaded *something* that somehow leaves a dread hangover even when the something dreaded is no longer present.
And dang, does everyone facing tenure develop enemies? What's with that?
Posted by: ozma | October 14, 2009 at 09:39 AM
Hey ozma, I'm in fact plowing through an insanely deep pile of grading and rather tedious academic chores that all hit at the same moment, and were additionally complicated by flu-like symptoms. The fact that I just got tenure has significantly dulled the unpleasantness of all that. And, over the next few weeks, I'm planning on experiencing post-tenure as a real state, associated with more pleasant academic-type activities.
