re: Will Miles throw in the towel and just promote Brick?

It is beginning to look like Miles really wanted Brick all along. This kind of charade happens a lot when in house people are hired, at least in academia (my professional experience).

The alternative, namely that we are being rejected by the other candidates, is even more disconcerting.

I am holding out hope that Les hires someone better qualified than Haley, but it looks like we are running out of options.
