The campus quad was covered in the morning midst. The rose garden had just been replanted when the campus bells tolled the 8 am this morning. Students rushed past Jose Orta who had just joined the college as a faculty member. He had his newly minted Phd in Philosophy from the University of Illinois and was exited to be joining the illustrious faculty at DIP College. Jose is running late because he just met someone new and it was their first date. A new year, a new beginnings an opportunity for Jose to be a pedagogue but first a meeting with his department head just before getting settled in his new appointment. Dr. Lee as jokingly known by her peers who resented Kizzy’s constant position climbing and lack of a terminal degree but she had it in with Dr. Biddy because she shared the same hairstylist; Jittery Jojo’s Salon. Her hair had been stretched strained and burnt to the point the only hairstyle she could pull off demanded that she wear a wig.

Professor Lee, seldom arrived on campus before 10 am but today she had to meet a new faculty member at 8:30 am. She fired her fifth administrative assistant this year because, of making that horrible mistake of setting up an appointment before 11 AM. Professor Lee behaved like the campus queen, she only deferred that title to Dr. Biddy. As she arrived on campus with her freshly glued on nails and haphazard smile she noticed that Dr. Jose Orta was making it along to the quad to her meeting, she sped her 360 SEL Mercedes through the parking lot to her spot in front of her offices. She ran out of her car and greeted her temp and proceeded to pretend she had been laboring overnight in her office preparing for Dr. Orta’s meeting.
