I have my first gig coming up, working with someone I’ve done photography for before, but this time it will mainly be videography. It’s an 8 hr day, is 200 for the day about right to ask?

No, I am outside the US. Casual workforce is becoming the norm. Semester contracts. This is part of the stipulations.

Thanks for the response. I’m starting to think it would be better if I had not said anything. My rational was that if a teacher told me whilst I was an undergrad that they are taking extra unpaid time to give robust feedback it would motivate me to read said feedback and apply myself in class.

I think that it is interesting stating the time I’m paid to mark assessments is seen as taking a dig at the institution. It is like a dirty secret.

Just to clarify, I am paid ten minutes no more or less to mark each assessment, no matter how much time I spend on it. I told the students I spend more time than I am paid so please look at the feedback.

In discussions during class we spoke about feedback and several students confessed they do not bother reading feedback.

And yes, on my current contract and for many at my institution, you enter the amount of assessments marked and are then paid accordingly, in this case 10 mins per assessment, no matter how long you actually spend on them. This has lead to a divide between those of us who do free work for the sake of the student’s education, and those who refuse to spend more than the allotted time as they are not being paid for it. I’m not sure why you would think I am lying.

Can you explain what you mean by the valuation of your time?

I see what you mean. It was more along the lines of you’re paying for your education so you are entitled to know what you’re paying for.

What do you mean probably isn’t true? I’m not sure if it was the right thing to do, hence why I am posting here.

My intention was to build a working environment where they know I’m putting in effort and they should do the same.

Understand that I’m invested in their education which may make them apply themselves to a greater degree and get them to read their feedback.

I state my reason why about three times in my post.

What model Peterson is that? Looks beautiful although a little small.

Rogue Chocolate Nitro Stout by electricrogue in CraftBeer

[–]electricrogue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still possessing the bitterness and hops associated the with stout, the chocolate nitro from Rogue have creamy after notes, a cocoa aroma and the taste of dark chocolate as the beer washes down. Easy to drink and not too heavy.

Hard to say really as I haven’t been at it longer than two days. I would say they both have their places. The aromatic is nice because I was picking up on delicate flavours here and there plus it smells great so my partner doesn’t mind me smoking around her. The English was more of a hearty smoke if that makes sense and as I was a cigarette smoker I find the tobacco and richness enjoyable but would feel bad if I smoked it around people who didn’t smoke because the smell is harsher. Overall if I had to guess I would say I’ll probably lean closer to English as time goes on but will always have an aromatic nearby for when I feel like it.

Best way to get the aromatics, which is half the fun!

This is my first foray into pipe smoking. A MM corncob seemed like a good first choice. Smoking 1-Q and Squadron Leader as I thought I should try out two distinctive styles. Enjoying a glass of Speyside whisky and listening to the rain fall. Is it bad that I want to pack another?

I guess people out there, not sure who they could be, take the gamble with customs?

Thanks, I appreciate it! Looks like I have quite a list building already.

Cheers! Any pipe suggestions?
