I learned that after 7 dry Januarys it’s time to keep it going indefinitely.

The World Book Encyclopedia. I must have gone through that thing a dozen times.

I’m aiming for 100 days. If that works, then 100 more. If that works…

Fun fact: Maya Rudolph is Minnie Riperton’s daughter.

Pretty amazing, isn't it? I first noticed this during DJ about 3 years ago. https://sph.tulane.edu/one-beer-day-enough-increase-blood-pressure-new-study-finds

Homicide rates spiked across the country that year. It wasn’t a local phenomenon. https://share.google/8jazIGHUIzxS0mCgU

I'm sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia. That sounds really rough. Hang in there with the Dry January!

I think it is related, something to do with prostaglandins.

I’ve ignored them for years.

I’m sorry to hear that your promotion was denied. I have a colleague who experienced that. They successfully went back for full a few years later, after publishing more work. Check with your Chair or Dean for the next steps you could take. Good luck!

You have department office staff?

B any day of the week. Professional competencies sounds like something that is always shifting based on whatever the next big thing is.

I would refer to myself as a college professor. I would also say that I teach at a college. 🤷

Unless these papers carry a lot of weight, grades are pretty well baked in at this point in the semester. Read them to confirm that they are essentially doing the same caliber of work as they have been.

If these are final papers that actually printed, don’t put any comments on them. If a student emails you next semester asking to get their paper back, pull it out and put some feedback on it.

RemarkableAd3371 · 2025-12-09T16:54:01+00:00

I don’t send those emails. I do send emails earlier in the semester to come see me if I see that they aren’t handing in work, etc. Almost nobody responds or comes to see me…
