Reasons faculty attend talks

Although I am super busy with work, I was inspired today to compile the following list.

Reasons that faculty attend seminar talks:

1. to have a nap (especially afternoon talks)

2. to avoid students asking questions about assignments

3. to eat lunch

4. to do work undisturbed

5. to be seen going to a talk

6. to track down other faculty members

7. to get a donut or timbit

8. to listen to the speaker
