I want to be impeccably groomed. Could you share your routine? Thanks!

You must work at a very small university if you know how all its subfields work. I work at a very large one. Or are you Provost or something, so that you have interacted with everything from field extension agents to math to theater to music to women's studies to...

NP here. I'm in the School of Engineering (Electrical, to be precise). We must not be as "academic" as you are. Nobody gives a $h!t about whether or not you're too polished. It's your work that counts.

Talk about provincial and small minded.

Hair shampooed, body washed, clothes laundered, teeth brushed -- not that hard, pp.

I would call this basic hygiene, not "impeccably groomed."

Just when I think I have heard all sorts of nonsense in life, someone like you comes along to surprise the heck out of me. Allow me to burst your bubble, highly placed women actually look very polished and well groomed. This is because they have the means and also they have to cultivate a certain image, a well put together image is part of the executive/ managerial package. Also, majority in academia don't manage staff/department/organization so I guess personality takes a backseat ? (I know some very well groomed people working in academia, so I think you are plain lazy)
