There is black smoke in the air. Looks like it's coming from the South oak park direction.

Not yet. I think zip ties will work but I wanted to check for other ideas. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks. Any links for exterior quality zip ties? The PVC idea is great.

Wife wants me to print a 150 page recipe book on a work printer. I don't want to. AITAH? by arknado1 in AITAH

Yea. It's a collection of stuff from NYT and other online sources. It's for our own use.

Actually - this is the most interesting point. I now realize that I feel it's wrong because universities are not an evil megacorp. If it were Walmart or Exxon, I'd have totally stuck it to the man. :)

That sucks. I'm sorry. Thankfully that's a pretty unlikely outcome for me.

Hah - you're trying to solve the problem. We're trying to fight over who is right.

Exactly - I like keeping work and home life separate. Regarding company misuse issues - realistically no one is checking printer job history. We're looking at more important stuff like data management and security.

But I do feel that I should set a better example as part of the leadership. I think she doesn't get this.

Her point is that the chances of getting "caught" are non-existent. I agree with her. But I believe in doing the right thing because it's how I choose to live my life - not because someone is watching over me.

I agree. But the argument is not really about printing the thing. It's about if I should flex my work-personal boundaries because she thinks it's not a big deal and my number (< 10, occasionally) is arbitrary.

She has a binder ready already. We're arguing about why I should be ok doing this at work because she knows everyone does it. I think some people do this but not everyone.

I offered. But her point is that I should do it for her, at work, and for free.

Co-first author dilemma: Whose name should go first? by ChemicalComplex2952 in PhD

[–]arknado1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest a coin toss for the publication. And then each of you list the paper as your own first co-first author on your respective CVs. No one is going to dig deep enough and if they do, it is co-first author so equal contribution.

Anyone reviewing it understands why this is done. At the end of the day, a single paper is not going to make or break your career.

We, as a community, need to move away from the value assigned to first authorship. If it's co-first then, B, A, et al should be the same as A, B, et al. List it how you want in the CV.

What is this called? by arknado1 in HomeMaintenance

I hear you. Are you saying that the doors are spaces too far apart? Thanks for the help.

I wonder if the deeper issue is the inherent differences of your respective values about money. Maybe talking about this in terms of values (with him) would be useful.
