Dismay at the fact that one or more of the other panelists either dropped out at the last moment or decided to write on a subject entirely different from the one they originally submitted as a proposal. <br /><br />ii. Frustration at the fact that no time was left for Q&A because panelist #2 went over their allotted time by twenty minutes and was not prevented from doing so by the chair, with whom he has been friends since graduate school.<br /><br />iii. Further dismay at the fact that there wouldn’t have been any Q&A anyway since the four people in the freezing-cold room were either asleep after a heavy (and/or liquid) lunch, looking at their phone during the entire session except when startled by the smattering of polite applause after each paper, or blood relatives of one of the panelists.<br /><br />I’m so over conferences, in case that’s not clear.Joaquin Stickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214683281034503020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-66301155797737667752018-04-09T21:03:04.733-07:002018-04-09T21:03:04.733-07:00LOL!

But then I remember that I have to go on the bloody job market and therefore should be working on my book instead of conferences. (Unless I can fit a chapter into a conference, which so far, I doubt.) <br /><br />I've got my study abroad May 8-26th. By then I'll know how my appeal has gone with my school, and I'll have time to write in the evenings. I want to knock out a lot of writing while I'm gone. (Here's hoping I won't be so exhausted that I can't do anything!)
