You must be joking...: cares about the endangered species

For those of us in academia, tenure is great. Unless you don't have it, in which case it pretty much sucks. In fact, it goes beyond sucking: it kills. Mainly your personal life, sometimes your spirit. I claim that assistant professors are an endangered species. Are we heading towards an environmental disaster that is going to destabilize the academic ecosystem or did I just have too much to drink last night? Either way, I think I deserve the Noble prize for Peace.
