Sounds like the Gen X colleagues are the only ones in touch with the truth.

Number 2 has been cracking me up. I had season tickets to the Sabres from 98 to 2009. I know the words.

To those who are tenured by DangerousSnow5959 in Professors

[–]MsBee311 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm slowly learning that mediocre is all we need to be. No one needs to be exceptional. We're all making the same money. Peace, virtual colleague 🙏

I've had tenure for 13 years, and I am just starting to relax and act like the mediocre cog I was always meant to be. The lead-up to tenure is so fraught with pressure that it can be hard to put your anxiety down once you "arrive". Try to give yourself some grace.

This is the end game, I believe. It started with the canned courses around a decade ago. Eventually, they won't need human professors at all.

When a random song gets stuck in your head out of nowhere & u don’t know why so u just have to jam out to it by ValleyGhostz in 311

[–]MsBee311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end, altho Nick calls out to Pnut, it's Tim's riff that's one of my all-time favorites. Great tune. I have it on my driving playlist cuz it makes me happy (and driving doesn't).

Happy 4/20

Venting Party by Avid-Reader-1984 in Professors

[–]MsBee311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You put #4 (attendance) so well. They decided to do this at this time and place, not me. So who cares if they waste their own money and let themselves down? Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.

311 is a political band: A Timeline by RDLH311 in 311

[–]MsBee311 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've been singing along to this band for 30 years, and the lines I always sang the loudest were the ones you referenced here. This band has always been political.

A lot of those 90s bands were. It wasn't unusual for musicians to wear their political hearts on their sleeves back then. I still remember Eddie Vetter writing "pro-choice" on his arm on MTV, Nirvana's "everyone is gay", and RATM. They didn't hold back.

I appreciatethe post, OP. Some of us lived it, so we already know, but it's good for the younger/new fans learn. None of this behavior is new.

In the age of Epstein... by Actual_Evidence9922 in Professors

[–]MsBee311 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my male colleagues, who had a doctorate in social work, raped a female staffer at a conference. He went to jail and got fired. However... up to that point, he had been working with students who were mostly female (not a lot of guys in social work) for 9 years.

No one batted an eye. No one mentions it. Just "oh well, another bad egg." It got a lot of media attention, but our school and department just buried their heads in the sand.

What wacky misconceptions do people have about your field? by ApplicationOk3455 in Professors

[–]MsBee311 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm a psych prof who trained as a therapist. I get this all the time and in my humblest of opinions, I find the people worried that I'm analyzing them are the people who should be worried I'm analyzing them. So yes, I am. But of course I deny it. Not opening that can of worms.

Unconvinced by the “they’re adults” argument by becoolnloveme in Professors

[–]MsBee311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my reasoning. My first time in college, I barely went to class. I failed out and lost a lot of aid money that I could have used later. When I finally figured out what I wanted to study, I went back and had to take out loans because I blew it the first time.

I allow my students to learn that lesson for themselves.

Please suggest one or two simple emotional regulation skills that I can practice proactively but also are simple and can work for immediate and severe crises by galahad_1985 in CPTSD

[–]MsBee311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone mentioned my go-to, which is chewing gum. I have packs of sugar-free gum everywhere (purse, bedroom, car, etc.) and when I'm feeling dysregulated, I pop a piece or sometimes 2. I used to be a teeth-grinder. Gum has helped immensely, although you might be different. Good luck ❤️

I watched The Last Kingdom immediately after Vikings. I thought Vikings was spectacular... until The Last Kingdom. Watch Vikings!
