Strive to become an interesting person. Interesting people don’t sit around all day getting stoned or playing Xbox. They also don’t grind the day away working out math problems or preparing for College Board tests.

I’m reading applications this week for a tenure-track position at the college where I teach. The applicants all have excellent qualifications, but for the most part they come off as BORING.

So my attention was really in high gear when I read about the applicant with excellent applications who is also an EMT who also likes unicycle over slickrock trails in southern Utah. This applicant is getting a second look.
