Unfortunately, I will miss SU’s “Graduate Student Etiquette Dinner” on Thursday evening because it conflicts with my teaching schedule. Nevertheless, I’ve been reflecting on my manners and whether they’re elegant enough for a professional meal. Consider this an opening for you to add your insights on dinner etiquette to this short list I’ve started.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Order something easy to eat. No ribs or chicken. If you can’t pass up the chicken (it’s the special, and you want to seem a frugal budgeter more than a spendthrift when it comes to the prospective department’s dime) do not slurp down the skin of the chicken or chew the marrow from the bones. <\/li>\n
  • Do not order anything that will have you eating happily before your hosts have their food.<\/li>\n
  • Take small bites so as to be able to carry on conversation without talking out a pie-hole full of half-chewed food.<\/li>\n
  • Unless it really stinks (viz., moldy bun, piece of hair in the pasta, etc.), don’t complain about the food.<\/li>\n
  • Don’t swear, get drunk, launch a point-by-point critique of anyone’s research, or audibly belch.<\/li>\n
  • Don’t air out your own program’s dirty laundry.<\/li>\n
  • Don’t refer your prospective colleagues to your blog for answers to the questions they ask, even if you’ve blogged about such matters extensively.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid chiming in knowingly on every tangent of the conversation.\n
  • \n
  • Lap your napkin, even if you never spill crumbs down there. Use the utensils in the order of outer-most inward. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
