Fellow faculty...

I forgot -

When I had new faculty orientation at the art school I'm teaching at, there was a luncheon presentation, and I was at a table with a handful of other adjunct faculty members who were teaching for the 1st time.

To strike up conversation, I asked them what they taught.

One, a well-dressed lady in black who was in her mid-30s, was like, "Comparative architecture," and then briefly talked about the 3 American cities she was treating.

Another, a balding Mexican guy in his mid-30s who was wearing a tie-dye hoodie, was like, "Graffiti."

The last, a younger (white) woman in a black beret and a bulky rough-woven grayish lavender wool sweater, was like, "Fiber."
