That's wonderful!!! I'm so glad that somebody finally noticed that you're busting your backside on less than half the timeframe given to the folks prior!

It was the first time I had discussed this with the associate dean without the dean present. I have always liked this AD. She was the first person to interview me here and has always shown wisdom and integrity when I've dealt with her. It wasn't actually *said* but it was pretty obvious that she is under a lot of strain working with this new dean as well. Not good all the stress, but at least I know I've got another level of management in support of me. :-)
