Ooh! I do too!
Like price-earnings (P/E) ratio for stocks, meetings should have a pointless-relevant (P/R) ratio. People could use the P/R ratio as a metric to determine how infuriating it would be to sit on a committee.
I’d rather long meetings with low P/R ratios than a shorter meeting with high P/R ratios.
Maybe worth noting that this is the 4th PSE strike in Nova Scotia this academic year, and that since Tim Houston became Premier in 2021, there has been a strike at every university in the province except StFX and the Atlantic School of Theology.

I was there last spring as a Sassoon fellow. Definitely a highlight of my career.
Enjoy your time!
Looking forward to the results of your research 👍

You might not like it, but this is what peak academic performance looks like.
