Prof 1: Yeah, my students are a little needy, but I'm just trying to listen and be even nicer than usual.
Prof 2: I'm tired of nice. I just don't have the energy for nice.
Prof 1: But you've got tenure--you don't have to be nice!
If only it were true....

You know if you reverse the e and the r at the end of the word tenure and then you replace the u with a d that the word tenure becomes tender. And that’s certainly how all profs should be with these tender, fragile students. Said (obviously) with a wink and a sarcastic smile.
So now we have to be flexible, fluid, resilient, accommodating, and tender? Soon I'll be nothing but a tender pile of ooze on the classroom floor.
