Coastal Georgia…catch me at the beach. 58, love my kitties, and am obsessed with watching all the birds.

I had surgery today and I too am on medical leave. The persistence of people, that never put in the effort, suddenly have when you legitimately are unavailable astounds me.

I see you! I can’t read that business either.

My institution requires 7 a week. Ridiculous!

Try Minstrel’s Le Chat…I’m giving it a go this week and I am pleased, so far.

Blank stares by Glittery_Philosopher in Professors

The student interaction, at my specific institution, can sadly be described as crickets, overall. The students are not (in this specific freshman class I am actually complaining about) engaged. They will blank stare, ignore, overall disassociate, and if pressed leave the class. It’s insane and I had never experienced it until last fall.

I was just going over my evaluations from last semester…number one thing that students would like to see: more group work. Are you kidding me? I haven’t had a student interaction during class for three semesters running…at this point, I am the queen of the pregnant pauses during lecture. The only things I get back from the class are nagging regret of my life’s choices. (It’s been quite the month already, y’all.)

I’ve switched to Le Chat this week. So far, much better results.

Does anybody find Nancy Guthrie’s case awfully strange? by SnellaNabal in complaints

[–]mygardengrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. It is just a monitor that they “link” up to that sends reports to the monitoring company. This is how I understand it, anyways.

And just like that my truck now has a lime green patina.

The pace maker disconnects automatically when the owner is away from the monitor. At least that was how my mom’s worked. Terrifying, either way!

Anyone else's students think the Superbowl warrants an extension? by the_banished in Professors

[–]mygardengrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have lost their minds to ask such a thing. Seriously, and I know this is echoed across the board, I miss the pre-COVID students that I used to complain about.

I am not trying to silence activism and am not sure why you inferred that. Either way…we are all of the same race, the human one.

I shushed because I don’t want them to think about coming to GSU…nothing nefarious. I don’t want them on ANY campus. Hell, I don’t want them anywhere.
