the museum bustled today with seventy beloit faculty whose purpose was to shuffle around and meet the new and temporary staff members. on top of that were trays and trays of small elaborate hors d’oeuvres and a king’s ransom of wine, showing that faculty — like students — are most likely to attend events under the banner of free food. this isn’t surprising; i don’t know about you, but the older i get, the more i realize that “adults” are just children with better pedigrees and more complex coping mechanisms. they leave messes and make demands, filling larger shoes, but only physically.
