My Mom, the Pep-Talker

Giving my mom an update on how my meeting went:

Mom: So was your meeting good?

Me: Yeah! I learned so much about how the association is run. And I'm meeting a lot of really cool people. Actually, it's kind of weird-- I'm the only assistant professor of the group. Everyone else is tenured and is already well-known in their field. I'm not sure I belong there.

Mom: Then how did you get on the board?

Me: Well, a friend nominated me, and then people actually voted for me, I guess!

Mom: Who voted for you?

Me: I don't know. It's anonymous.

Mom: It's good that people voted for you!

Me: Yeah, it is! I guess people are actually recognizing me somehow.

Mom: Are you sure they didn't make a mistake?

END.
