Some People Say

 Some people say that I have been doing nothing useful in all these years (not the wife, some others).

Some people say that if you enjoy your work, then it doesn't seem like work.

Some people are right- I have enjoyed what I did, mostly- teach, attend conferences in multiple places, give invited lectures, teach Golf to my students and MDP participants (outside their curriculum), write books, publish papers and case studies, help people get a Ph.D. by advising or mentoring them, and develop some people when I was in leadership positions-both faculty and assistants.

So I wasn't actually 'working'- get it? 

And bosses, I mostly ignored them. You can do so in academia, and get away with it. I had a couple of good ones, though.
