Pro tip: don't give the office next to the elevators to the faculty member who no one has seen on campus for the better part of a decade. And, if the movers just dumped his stuff in the middle of the office, say in 2018, it's not too late to have someone put it away or at least hang a curtain over the window from the hall.

Every time I think that my colleagues couldn't possibly get any pettier, someone finds a way.

I'm worried that if I don't come up with some batshit or vaguely antisocial behavior quick, they're going to make me take on more consequential admin work. The bar for appointment as chair really is wildly low.
