In May, I wrote about how every faculty member had to create his/her own professional web page by June 15th. This directive came from higher up, and it was not presented as a voluntary activity.
Like a schnuck I did what I was asked and delivered well before the deadline, just to be sure that it'd get done before our son was born.
Well; two weeks after the deadline, the results are in with regards to percentage complete at the different departments. The two departments with highest completion rate ranked at ~70%. In contrast, "my" department pimp-strolled in with a 16% rate of completion, which means that only myself and six other schnucks among the scientific and administrative staff actually bothered to follow up on the directive. And my department was not the one with the lowest completion rate either.
What's worse is that the beureaucratic instance who issued the order only had a completion rate of 42% - less than half of the staff followed through on their own directive.
It's a miracle that other faculty members haven't taken my lunch money yet. Or it could be because not a single soul actually bothers to look for or even less read these official web pages and thus nobody knows. At any rate, I sure got well doinked with my pants on.

Woke up this morning
Feel 'round for my shoes
You know I had them
Web page blues some mo'
People tell me

Worse ol' feeling,I ever had
This morning...

Or they're just cutting you some slack because you just became a father. You better watch out for your lunch money this week...
Epic lyrics there, Bro :-)
Yeah; I'd better watch out. Maybe I should start lifting junk or something
