Academia as a Service Occupation…

Marsha sent me this link to the NY Times article on March 20: The Professor as Open Book, re an mtvU show wherein profs get to get back at their profiles on Rate My Professors.

Gosh. I used to be hoTTer, but age, worldly cynicism, and raging hormones have taken its toll, I guess. I mean, really, 7 years ago someone could write: She’s not too hard on the eyes - academically speaking , and now? The number of hot chili peppers has perhaps declined, from fiery habanero to toned-down Norte-Americano plain ole jalapeno. Such a shame, as the great thing about aging (perchance this is a girlie-professor thing) is that in the classroom, sometimes things just come out of my mouth that are, well, unanticipated, off-topic perhaps, potentially ribald, and at least amusing to me. Ah, but this often reflects the dynamism and synergy of the students within the class, so kudos to them for igniting those sultry sparks.
