My anxiety of the other day was totally stupid and wrong. Lunch was JUST lunch, no scary announcements, just us hanging out and eating lasagna and salad and ice cream bars and laughing.
Apparently our new chair (our Once and Future Chair, because she did it before, about 10 years ago) wants to re-institute monthly potlucks-that-aren't-really-faculty-meetings-but-we-can-call-them-that.
And I approve of this. Being able to eat with people is always a treat, and even if someone brings something I can't eat there are always enough sides - even just a green salad - that I can make a decent lunch of it.
I've volunteered to do tamale balls (basically: Tex-Mex spiced meatballs made with half beef, half sausage, and with cornmeal as the "filler") at one of these future ones.

I think meeting with colleagues that ISN'T a meeting is helpful. I really do. Unless you don't get along with anyone, which I can't imagine would happen. (right now it is just me and my boss.. and we don't get along. we are supposed to be a group of 4 people.. so yeah.. I feel that last remark, but we will get new people eventually.)
