Tenure is the first thing I wanted from this job. Heh.

I'd rather have questions I can't answer, than answers I can't question.

Do whatever you want--I'm just the background dancer in your show!

Congrats! I'm exhausted just thinking about four tenure cases.

Actually, I've been through five of them. I'm really old, you know.

Fourth time's the charm?

Are you serious?  I can't imagine enduring that "process" that many times!

Congratulations!

When as old as I am you are, think differently you may.

Yes, serious. Fourth time tenured. I don't suggest this as a life quest.

Did you have to regain tenure every time you moved? Wow, that might be some sort of record.

Not every time. I was hired with tenure once. Weirdly, I was hired with tenure at my highest ranked university employer. How weird is that? The slightly lesser (research wise) schools refuse to hire with tenure. Twice I was awarded for tenure in my second year. There doesn't seem to be any shared system or method universities.

Did promotion come with the tenure? At many places they are nearly inseparable.  At my last institution, I know a few people who got tenure but not promotion.

No, I am already full.
