An academic Department Chair is really just a Head Chipmunk (HC) in a Woodland Glen of the Dark Forest of college life. Most come to the job filled with wide-eyed energy and zest and but spend their days constantly battling snakes, weasels and strutting pigeons while just trying to gather up pitiful amounts of resources into their cheek pouches. Some end up as road kill under a passing minivan. These are the stories of one HC, swerving to not get smashed.

Elephant poop
The Head Chipmunk got herself in a political mess. One she should have
avoided. It was like a big pile of elephant poop right in the middle of
the Woodland Glen and she jumped right in. Now that she is buried up to
her chubby cheeks, all alone, with no allies and even friends mad at
her, swimming in shit, trying to find the edge to climb out, all she can
think is "why, why, why am I such an idiot? I saw it was a big pile of
elephant poop and I still jumped right in."
