Cage posted:Just trying to help. I felt your response was fairly straight forward. Then again, I also have no idea what's wrong with just giving somebody an incomplete which is what they want either.. Maybe vanity is getting in Mr. Pimps way of actually giving somebody what they want since it's not an a-f anyway?

Agreed until this morning. Woke up, albeit with not enough sleep, opened the shower door with the same hand that my phone was in, it went for a swim in the toilet. Got to the gas station, put gas in the car and realized half way through I hit the 87 octane button instead of 91. Now my car hates me and I need to drive another 3 days until I can put 91 back in and make it happy again.. To recap, pissy car and I'm on a windows phone for the next 24-48 hours. Then I'm sure May will pick back up again. jamal posted:Got charged by a bear with a cub today, that was pretty exciting.

meatpimp posted:for-profit schools Don't fool yourself, every school is for profit, you'd be surprised how often I have to remind people here. Just because we're a community college doesn't mean we're not for profit. Guess what has to happen when attendance dips? Sorry people, we have to trim the fat somewhere and it's usually in the area of part-timers and then it's by newer hires first unless older faculty/classified/managers want to take a golden parachute.

meatpimp posted:I looked at teaching at a for-profit school. Lasted all of the orientation meeting where it was entirely focused on taking attendance at multiple times of the class session to document who was present and when, so that the financial aid could be kept properly... In CA, we call that a Student Learning Outcome and it's tied directly to both Full Time Equivalent Student count and Accreditation. fyodor posted:State employees here are unionized. Further, there is your specific trade union within the state employee union. I worked for one of the two state university systems so I was in an educational union inside the state employee's union. Try busting that poo poo. That's exactly it. When I was Union, I viewed my dues as monthly hush money I threw out to get paid an exorbitant amount next to my private enterprise counterparts. keykey fucked around with this message at 00:00 on May 11, 2016 |

IOwnCalculus posted:Both of you, tell me more. My wife and I were this close to going to Puerto Jimenez last year but spent too long hemming and hawing over it and then the prices spiked. Ended up being way cheaper to go to Hawaii, but Costa Rica is still very much on the to-do list. Puerto Jimenez is in the Osa Peninsula which during the rainy season you need to have a guide because of the Fer de Lance snake and severe flooding creating nice new streams and habitats for crocodiles and bull sharks. Bull sharks love to swim upstream, what would normally be a mild river crossing could potentially turn into a bad timeIt's not a bad place to go, but just look at the season before you make a trip there. It really is the last truly wild area in Costa Rica. When we go there we typically stay with friends in Desamparado which is a suburb of San Jose. If you're looking for an amazing place to chill, go to Monte Verde. It's one of only 20 cloud forests in the world. It takes about 6-7 hours to get to from San Jose. The thing about CR is that it's a relatively small country that's only about 275 miles or so long and 100 miles wide, but it takes forever to get anywhere. Think of their road network as a wagon wheel. San Jose is the hub and you can get to any of the other places going in a straight line in different directions, but you'll rarely find roads without backtracking that'll take you in a direct way from one place on the outer spoke to another. If tropical weather is your thing, check out Limon, Cahuita, and/or Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. One of my favorite places is Puerto Viejo, the last time we were there we both got steak, lobster, drinks and a shared appetizer. The total price came out to roughly $30 USD. Limon is a great place to snorkel/scuba. From Puerto Viejo, you can pay for a van to go into Panama for a day trip. If you're prone to vertigo, don't do it. The bridge is full of dry rot and boards on top of other boards that have dry rot. It use to be a railroad bridge.. I can guess why trains no longer use it. Also, Panama is pretty drat funky on the whole compared to CR though I may be biased.

IOwnCalculus posted:We were looking at going in March so it wouldn't be too rainy, and the rainforest / wild nature is a lot of what was pushing us to any of a dozen AirBNB homes down there on Osa. Plus, hey, offroading. I wouldn't drive down there, especially since you'd have to go through Mexico and more importantly Nicaragua which is, well.. A poo poo hole in its own rite, also there are nice groups of guerillas depending on where you're treading through usually on the southern border. We've seen them once after mistakingly going over the CR to Nicaragua border and quite frankly I don't ever want to see them again. It was an intense 45 minutes, fortunately on the CR border side, we happened to run into police. Here's some light reading: http://news.co.cr/guerrilla-uprising-nicaragua-report-costa-rica/36974/ March would be a great time to go, just make sure you have great ground visibility before getting out in a high foliage area. Fer de Lance's loooove to hang out under leaves and they blend in quite well. Also, I can't stress the private transport enough. For a day expedition or something just going through some bushes, renting a 4x4 would be fine, but a lot of places in CR don't exactly have clear traffic patterns. It's one of those things that unless you were born there and learned to drive there, it's best just to leave it to the locals. I'll let this article speak for itself: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/10/the-10-best-and-worst-countries-for-drivers/

Wrar posted:The Peter Principal is 100% real. Especially in academia. Oh, you're an English instructor? *ENGLISH INSTRUCTOR HAS DEVOLVED INTO A DEAN* congrats! Now.. You manage other English instructors? Huh.. Well, not sure how that English degree set you up for management.. But, welp here we are.. Then we get to hear about their unique not getting paid enough to English and Dean bullshit and that's when you know someone has reached peak Peter Principle. You can substitute English with math, music, philsosphy, art, etc.. And the same thing will happen. Most of them have no loving clue what a budget, what it entails, and how to stay within one. Fun fact: at one point in 2008, we had a surplus of 13 million. 11 million was taken away and given to colleges/UC's that don't know the difference between a budget and a hole in the ground. Our 11 million went to UC Berkeley who was roughly 150 million in the hole. The Peter Principle doesn't end on your level, it goes all the way to the top including the Chancellor's office. keykey fucked around with this message at 15:00 on May 14, 2016 |

spog posted:Does this mean that I could ride a bike from coast-to-coast at 70mph with impunity? If you do 70 through CA, a lot of people are going to be pissed that you're going too slow in the fast lane. Left lane here is typically 75 sometimes faster. Cops only pull you over if you're going "noticeably faster" than everyone else. My commute home is usually closer to 80 and people still pass me all the time. bolind posted:Wife and her visiting friend dragged me to the country's biggest art museum.

The other 5% fall into the I'll finish reading it someday category which means I usually watch the movie and call it a day. It's like a mechanic having a lovely car or a computer tech having a lovely computer.
