I've often expressed hope that the time I've spent in law school faculty meetings will count against my stint in Purgatory. If you want to know why, go over and read Pierre Schlag's description of a how a faculty hiring meeting would go if people were saying what they were really thinking. It's painfully hysterical because it so precisely captures the real subtext of every hiring meeting I've ever attended. (And, yes, I see myself in one of the characters. But, no, I'm not going to tell you which one.)
