Yes, I think a little revenge tragedy would help LOTS of department meetings. And if you wanted the subtle approach, why not poison instead of the dagger?
One problem might be the rush to backstab one particular faculty member, and that would be awkward. Who gets to do the deed? Do we go by seniority, or is it like prison, where newbies like me need to off someone to prove our worth?
Record another vote for "should be MORE like," please. Oh, and I have complete confidence you will learn to draw poison. You've got a knack for this stuff.
I dunno, I think that's a reason why department meetings SHOULD be more like early modern drama!

ReplyDeleteI think we'd have to go with the Julius Caesar model, and have everyone take a stab. As it were...)
ReplyDeleteps. Susan, it would be hard to draw poison, for me, anyway.
