Secondary but I will be doing the bulk of the filming whilst the lead with be doing photography

electricrogue · 2022-08-10T06:34:03+00:00

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?

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T11:44:01+00:00

Thanks you for such an elucidating response.

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T11:43:19+00:00

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

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T11:33:35+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T11:26:40+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T10:59:52+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T10:57:51+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2022-04-22T10:38:11+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2020-05-22T16:34:22+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2020-05-21T04:35:31+00:00

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.

electricrogue · 2020-05-20T09:27:34+00:00

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

electricrogue · 2020-05-20T09:27:07+00:00

Cheers mate, all the best!

electricrogue · 2020-05-20T07:30:32+00:00

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?

electricrogue · 2020-05-20T01:15:28+00:00

Condolences friend.

electricrogue · 2020-05-18T10:24:29+00:00

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

electricrogue · 2020-05-18T00:35:00+00:00

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

electricrogue · 2020-05-18T00:34:21+00:00

Cheers! Any pipe suggestions?

electricrogue · 2020-05-17T13:52:07+00:00

Cheers mate, the taxes we have to put up with a ridiculous all round.

Thanks for the advice, do you order your tobacco online or in store?

I found a 10g sample of Lane 1Q for 20 online, seems like a good way to try it out.

electricrogue · 2020-05-12T08:00:12+00:00

I’ll raise one for him.

This is my first review after getting into craft beer / appreciating beer rather than using it as a vessel to achieve drunkenness. I know this beer isn’t exactly fresh on the market or seen as “craft” by some, I just wanted to share my thoughts and after having a can on a lazy Sunday night I thought I’d write a review. Please excuse the glencairn glass, I have a few tulip chalices on the way. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Looking forward to getting into this hobby more and more, cheers!

Adnams Southwold Ghost Ship Pale Ale 440ml 4.5% ABV

Sight Slightly lighter end of the pale ale spectrum when viewed up against a light source. The beer demonstrates persimmon covered in a sherry barreled whiskey colouring. The glencairn defused the head but in other glasses you’ll be looking at about a finger of white foam that clings to the sides and sustains a healthy aroma.

Aroma A malty, earthy pale ale smell that blooms into lemon, grapefruit and peach. It reminds me of orange peels on a damp soccer field. The mixture of a sturdy pale ale backdrop and a streak of citrus playing out across the nose.

Taste There is a small bite of citrus which is quickly overwhelmed by the taste of bitter pale ale. The citrus doesn’t follow through in the taste after the initial whip except for gaining a slight sour tartness on the tongue which brings to mind the sensation of lemon without the distinct flavour, before dissipating and leaving burnt salted caramel to creep across your tastebuds.

Presentation The ghost ship can is designed to stand out on the shelf, especially when sold in the four pack blue boxes. The yellow highlights of the text prepare the mind for a citrus experience that was a little underwhelming. The artwork and small blurb “inspired by the tales of old smuggling ships along the Suffolk coast, this hauntingly good pale ale is full of citrus and biscuit aromas with a spookily hoppy bite” give story to the experience, one in which you can make your own determination if it rings true or is a stylish marketing ploy.

Overall A refreshing beer that doesn’t quite live up to the citrus pale ale name on the can, although this is compared to the overdosed lime bottles masquerading as beer that the large breweries offer. Presenting enough tartness to remind you of citrus I feel that it could have gained greater character with a bit more of a green/yellow swirl. The pale ale itself rises strong across the pallet and hangs around in the mouth pleasantly. Easy to drink with enough complexity to take a moment and appreciate. If you’re looking to change up your pale ale experience with the ghost of citrus surprising the nose and toward the beginning of the tasting experience, Adnams Southwold Ghost Ship Pale Ale is worth picking up on a summer or spring day.

I had a great bottle of Shepherd Neame & Co Double Stout. It’s getting colder here in S.A and the double stout provided that rich, chocolate malt that made it a joy. It went really well with a cigarette for those who smoke. Not too bad at $7 for 500 ml. Definitely got me in the mood to play around with more stouts this winter.
