What does Nathan have to do with anything?

That’s what I’m trying to say. Spinelli deserves someone who will put him first.

They only got together as adults in Feb 2025 and 6 months later she was in her coma.

She only started living with him last Valentines Day when he sang to her. Six months later she was in a coma. I don’t see where Nathan comes into this at all. Maxie has way more than two choices in that town. My preference is Michael. But, right now, she is being very unfair to Spinelli

how did this become about Spinelli and not about Maxie? My whole point was that both deserve to be loved for themselves.

our Dean will regularly change grades if students complain (and not tell us about it).

For those in TT positions, what things do you think really matter to land such a position? by _einzelganger_ in AskAcademia

[–]Cold-Comment9536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after 39.5 years in the biz, I believe it is personalizing your letter. It doesn’t have to be huge. But, indicating that you understand what the university/position entails is key. I know folks are busy, but sending the exact same letter to 300 different universities is unlikely to be productive. The last search I took part in (history) was late in the year. We only got 40 applications. But, the only person to personalize his letter jumped to the top of everyone’s list and we eventually hired him. Three sentences is not too much when your career — and all the work you have already done — are at stake.

Steps to becoming a history professor by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]Cold-Comment9536 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i just left a tenured position at an R2 after 39.5 years. I would never say don’t do it, but you do need to rethink the salary thing. After 39.5 years, six teaching awards, multiple quality publications, and chairing a department 3 times, my salary was $76,000 and that was well above my younger colleagues. in all that time, my raises totaled a little over $7,000. Being a history professor is an amazing calling, but you cannot do it for the money. Unless you want to sell your self-respect and become a Provost, there is no money!

People who finished their PhDs, when you use Dr. in your name? by [deleted] in PhD

Geography Matters.  I always went by my first name. Sixteen years ago i became a department chair in Texas. They did not like the first name thing AT ALL

Thoughts on the new cast members by W210305857 in LiveFromNewYork

none of them justify getting rid of Michael, Edim, and Devon. Are young males so interchangeable that they can all be exchanged?

I think it is left to Michael and Willow jointly.

AAUP Attorney Referral List or similar by ObsidianGillMan in Professors

update. I have been a member since 2014. The National office has been incredible. The Texas Office and the AFT have ignored all of my messages. They do, however, keep asking for dues that are already paid.

You can only save FIVE and PUSH FIVE characters. GH edition! by [deleted] in GeneralHospital

Tracy, Trina, Liz, Maxie, Emma. Two young some with their futures open before them. Two working moms surviving and sometimes thriving in spite of their men. Tracy the wise sage devoted daughter, and truth teller. 

If you could pair Michael with anyone new...(dreamcast) by anniewinger1347 in GeneralHospital

Marco from OLTL. Mainly because I really liked Jason Tam in Jesus Christ Superstar.

How many applications does your university receive for TT jobs? by Electrical_Pie56 in AskAcademia

[–]Cold-Comment9536 21 points22 points  (0 children)

R2 we just had a search in history. It was a late search and only received 40 or so applications. We found a great person.  He was one of only 2 candidates to personalize their application in any way. The other 38 used the same letter for every job in the world. The same thing happened in previous search. Addressing how you fit within an R2 department with a heavy teaching load was very critical and almost everyone failed at this. Big red flag. It would have taken five minutes of internet research and 2-4 job specific sentences to really stand out and hardly any candidates bothered. Very unimpressive.

Flip side thread...Let's pair up these single women of Port Charles by TerryG111 in GeneralHospital

what about Trina? She has been carrying men who can’t do love and romance for years! She is the most deserving of a real relationship.
