On one of my recent posts, Dr. McFabulous compared my facebook usage to that of an "exhibitionist teenager."
That got me thinking.
*Am* I like a teenager? It's true that I have the occasional zits and emotional outbursts.
Come to think of it, so do some of my colleagues. Perhaps professors are like teenagers! Certainly some might argue that the seating arrangements at faculty meetings evoke that of a high school cafeteria. We can be moody, detached, and--dare I say?-- hormonal.
Or perhaps faculty are more like babies, with their temper tantrums of very vocal demands?
Are your colleagues more similar to college seniors, those burned out darlings who have a penchant for not giving a shit and being very vocal about it?
So what do you think? Are professors mature members of society? Or are we more similar to our students than some would like to admit?
