Department Meeting Rule #10
Show up on time. (And if you're late, you don't get to insist that the meeting be paused to that the rest of us can get you caught up on what happened before you arrived.)
Rule #45: don't spend 45 minutes of our time on procedural motions before allowing the agenda to be approved just b/c you're mad at the department head (note: true story)
I thought the only rule on these meetings was that they were not over when everything had been said, but only when everything had been said by everyone.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Give a damn about something other than Rule #1 if you are tenured.

I'm sure that person has NEVER been late before, so you should cut them some slack...
