That sucks, Kappa. Sometimes it helps to take a break and let someone review your materials to get a different eye on the process

Thanks, guys. Fortunately, my roommate put in a word for me at the company he worked at last summer so hopefully that pushes my application up a little. shrug


Keep up with what I've been watching lately!

Being single is such a new thing ... ahhh 2017 ...

I'm apparently a Daddy-deficient man in the gay world - someone in their mid-40s who looks like someone in their 30s... bah

Being single is old for me . . . in whatever year.

I'm in my 50s and probably look older. (Hey, I get the senior discount at a local restaurant, so it's not all bad.) Romance is overrated. Take that, Valentine's Day.

If we were an adult film franchise, I could say that I'm too busy waiting on the repair guys to have time for romance in the evening-- and it would be bragging.

Instead it's true, and as mundane as you'd expect. shake

I would post, but someone gave me the job of repairman's assistant and I just spend all my time now in doorways watching hot (and cold running) plumbing action. smile

Besides "Cleome: The last word in cool" has a nice ring to it.

My department chair has been sending me passive aggressive emails this week ... just in case I didn't already want to go on the market!

Sometimes the same people pry favor after favor out of you over a short period of time, and you start to feel like you're being taken advantage of. But you don't dare say anything.

Ugh! Car got hit while I was off at work. Neighbour apparently. I won't get the details until tomorrow.

What did I do this time...oh, I see. Sorry. That brings back lots of bad memories for me.

I had to sit through the most abusive department meeting today.
I put on the agenda that my letter indicating that I would not get tenure based on department enrollment (my department is the only one that utilizes department enrollment as criterion for tenure) and my chair used the opportunity to criticize me, tell I've been short, snitty and non-collegial with him (because I say no to demands on my time to work on tenure), demand a public apology, and then pointed out that collegiality is part of tenure

I took a breath.

Then I told him that this whole tenure situation is happening to me, not him. That I was not responsible for managing his feelings. And that I am tired of the tone-policing when I have worked hard only to be told that I'm not tenurable based on our department numbers (where my classes are PACKED).

Yes, I deeply understand that universe is trying to tell me to get the hell out and change schools. I interview next week in San Diego.

Thanks! It's actually a perfect job for me (on paper)... so I want to see if the department is good

On the plus side, I now have a comparison point for things I don't want

So.... My shower has been unusable for 5 days due to a leak. So I've been using the shower at the gym.
This morning I don't want to get my butt up to go to the gym to shower. BUT I have to teach all day.

This is a conundrum.

Just please don't treat Axe Spray as a magic cure-all. 10 out of 10 co-workers with a sense of smell will tell you: it ain't.
