The honcho, The cheese, The big kahuna

So I was just at one of my several meetings this week


I'm early (OCD!) one of my annoying traits to many and one other member of the faculty is also rather early he must be (OCD) too.


So we have a rather interesting conversation about riding trains.


I enjoy it and I think passenger train service is a rather cool way to get around -- none of the phucking bossy we are too damn busy for what you might need attitude of the airlines.


Well maybe some -- but the airlines as a whole are .... well they are just snobs ... so what if you fly the plane - guess what if it crashes you're just as dead as me and most likely it is your damn fault.


anyway I'm off the point.


My meeting - me and the other OCD are there chatting and in walks a third person who is early - OCD? maybe but it is rather close to the meeting time about 12 minutes now


Well we, the first gentleman and I, continue our conversation -- about riding trains not bitching about airplanes. that's just me on a rant


So then the third guy chimes in and we are all having a nice talk about it all


Well more people arrive and number 1 OCD talks to someone leaving me and the 3rd person to chat Well I introduce myself and he himself


OMG it is the phucking president of the college. He is new and in all the storys that have been sent via campus mailing and newspaper articles have not included a photo. I recognized the name barely.


Now I'm thinking -- did I rant about something or not? Did I swear -- no pretty sure I didn't -- But damn here this guy is, just chatting away about the trains and he's the honcho the cheese the big kahuna, So I held it together very well and was on my best behavior during the meeting


None of my normal fidgeting, cracking of joints, etc. I even took notes and chimed in -- very well too -- at the meeting.


So then after the meeting I'm walking out the door and He slaps me on the back with his notes and says "have a good day" and then I did the typical lackey thing "oh you too SIR"


Well he is the President and all I should show him respect but I think he wanted to avoid the whole formal thing in the meeting


But I think it went very well all and all and now a bunch of Dr's know who I am on the campus


While I remain invisible in every other aspect of my life I am now feeling rather visible and vulnerable there now. Like everyone is watching me and is going to say oh yeah you're that guy.... what ever the hell that means being that guy.


Well I bought a super fast computer 1 GHz processor -- this muther is fast -- here is a southern analogy for fast


its faster than greased owl shit


-- what the hell is that about --


however I did see an owl this morning right before sunrise that was very cool


OK now I have to get some work done and turn on the AC because it is hot maybe I'll change clothes. No peeking
