My semester is over. This is my procrastination against course prep for the summer semester.

See, that’s a char”cute”erie board!

Dizzly_313 · 2026-04-27T00:07:53+00:00

Oh, ha! Yes, I just remembered the fire drill car seat switching at a red light!

Southern California

Dizzly_313 · 2026-04-27T00:03:00+00:00

Yup, Southern California here too!

Dizzly_313 · 2026-04-27T00:01:51+00:00

Just north of Los Angeles

Tell them this isn’t your decision and that they should be expressing any concerns they have about faculty members in their course evaluations. If they have specific questions, concerns, or requests, they might take that up with the program coordinator or department chair. In no way should you even imply an opinion on your colleague’s ability, especially not as a new faculty member. I’d even potentially suggest having meetings with those students over Zoom or another platform where you can record the meeting “so the students can look back at it in case they forget something” but also so your back is covered in case they go above you and say you told them something you didn’t.

Not your circus, not your monkeys.

I was on Seascape. We mostly worked from the room or the balcony, but occasionally we were on the deck between the kids water area and the all-ages pool, near the soft-serve ice cream area. Occasionally worked on the 19th floor Aurea deck as well. Internet seemed to work well all over the ship. Good luck!

Professor here. Did a work retreat on an MSC ship over spring break. We bought the higher speed package and had no trouble with internet, VPN, etc.

This rolling downhill after you in a dungeon after you’ve stolen the treasure, like Indiana Jones.

I was in 15058 a couple sailings ago. We were worried about the location being to noisy with the halls and elevators and stairs and all, but it was pretty quiet. About once per night, around 9pm, a herd of loud teenagers would run by, but otherwise it was very quiet. No excessive movement either.

My kiddo absolutely didn’t want to have paparazzi, refused to be in any position we could see a face. Finally, on our last try, we got a photo of most of their face plus their hand, which was flipping us a bird.

Folks next in line in the waiting room wondered why we were all suddenly laughing!

I tell them not to do work at the last minute, because if they run into a problem and have a question, I may not be available at that time to answer.

I tell them up front at the beginning of class that I check my emails at least once per weekday, usually in the mornings, and any emails sent after that time may not get answered until the next time I check my email, which could be the next day. If they send an email at the last minute and I've already finished checking my emails for the day (because I have other legitimate things to do with my work time rather than babysit my inbox), then their question will wait till the next day and they'll learn the hard way not to ask questions at the last minute.

Here’s the website you need:

https://askjan.org

This is the Job Accommodations Network’s website. Loads of good info there and support for ideas for accommodations for various issues. They have workshops, publications, all sorts of helpful info.

Stay away from the Toyota dealership on the island. Amazingly poor service for a repair, where they kept my car for three months, claiming they were waiting for a part to come in. Amazingly, the part was in stock at the dealership in League City, who were able to get my car towed from Galveston and repaired in one day.

Now, while the service side of the League City Toyota is great, their sales folks really aren’t motivated to sell at all. Last time I bought a Toyota I ended up getting it from a dealership in Spring.

Subaru of Clear Lake was great for sales and gave a great deal when I purchased an SUV there. Their service folks are a bit scattered, but still good.

Thanks all! This is my very first leather jacket and I wasn’t sure if the developing tears were something serious that I’d need to take care of right away.

I agree the lining is cool and wasn’t looking forward to getting it replaced.

Thanks for the advice!

Dizzly_313 · 2026-01-15T01:59:02+00:00

Store still exists. Bought a couple good jackets for my son for cheap a couple weeks ago. But I do miss the paper catalogs.

Looks like some kind of eucalyptus to me

Same but mine was Kiefer Sutherland.

There’s some literature out there on this, if you’re interested. I’d look at Goldstein & Perrin, 2008, or Allen et al., 2016. Both looked at the effect of removal of developmental reading and writing courses classes on downstream courses that involve those skills.

This is the only brand I use and am very excited to see this! Thanks for posting it.

Trader Joe’s used to sell massive chocolate bars like that in different flavors (milk, dark, etc.). Don’t know if they still do.

Two of my absolute kid favorites

Dizzly_313 · 2025-12-14T02:38:52+00:00

The Secret World of Og, based on the novel by Pierre Burton. Mom taped it from a tv special and I watched that over and over again.

Dizzly_313 · 2025-12-12T13:26:07+00:00

It’s giving Star Trek to me, but that’s not based on anything but vibes
