So we made it to week 5! I can’t believe there are a few of you who have no idea what a face palm is? Seriously? Never slammed your open palm against your face sitting in a meeting with a colleague, student, relative, and just wondered about the decisions  you’ve made in life that brought you to that exact moment?

Me neither.

Maybe it was from all the video gaming I did before securing a tenure-track position– and in order to clean up all those crazy line graphs (I’m by no means a graphic artist), I simplified our average participation across divisions for weeks 1-4 and then showed you how we sorted ourselves out for week 5. . In any case, welcome to the party Institutional Advancement, we did sadly lose the President’s Office participant.

Now full disclosure, these survey results do not get sent to your direct supervisors, Dean’s, Department Chairs, President Toro… no—they go to Google’s infinite database system to feed you specifically targeted advertisements. I say this because you all were likely lying or you do way too much work on the weekends. RECHARGE those batteries. Next time I’m asking you all what you do for fun when you’re not working.

Since there’s not enough space in the PDF for your favorite activities, let me share some fun ones from our friends this week.
