"happy woman professor"
That's the search string that brought someone to blogos this evening. Amused woman professor is more apt. Ka-pow.

I am less impressed by the fact that "happy woman professor" brought a searcher to your blog, than by the fact that anyone would be searching that string. I mean, WTF?

My thoughts exactly, senioritis. I was amused and, truth be told, a little sad! Especially that blogos was third on the list, and the word happy at blogos comes up in the following context: "make Kirt Wilson happy [by writing my review on time]"
Oh, the irony!

Hmmm...if you search for the exact phrase instead by using quotation marks, you get something different:
Your search - "happy woman professor" - did not match any documents.
Which is kind of depressing. At least if you are a woman professor.

yah. that's a bummer! the 'gender neutral' version of the search--ie, "happy professor"--turns up tons of hits about a shortlived early 90s tv show featuring a professor who is in fact a bird:

so: *should* we call a "happy woman professor" blog day?
We've already had, sort of, the "happy professor" day (and I tried to find in order to link to your blog posting on the cnn ranking of professors as the second best job in the universe... but, well, couldn't -- and linking to Spencer's post about your post, while perhaps appropriately meta, didn't seem quite happy enough) -- but I can imagine a woman out there wondering if going on in grad school is worth the effort, or applying, or tenure, or, well ... we've all had those moments.
To read a bunch of blog posts from-women-I-professorially-admire about what makes them happy in their work... that would be just plain life-improvingly peachy.

Great idea, Anne! How about Feb. 14? Might be a good day to get mushy about our work.

You got it. I'll post about it (and talk about it with all the happy women professor-bloggers I know) while I start cutting out all those construction paper hearts and getting my fingers stuck in the glue as I paste the hearts to my screen, happily.
Happily.

Count me in! I'll start working on my sonnet now.

I just got here from searching "how to be a happy professor"
Y'know, the angst of the first year on the tenure track makes you search strange strings....
