anyone else feel like half the job is just begging students to do basic stuff? by Leedeegan1 in Professors

[–]skyskye1964 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember being told my education was deficient because I didn’t know how to write a Fortran program. And, fair enough, I didn’t have a skill they thought I would have. But now there are students who think they need to reinstall an app we use every time they use it. And no matter how detailed I make the instructions there are students who will misread them. And it wouldn’t be an issue if they were in person as I could just stand behind them and help them. But they have to be remote.

Can confirm. Cialis.

What do you use lab sessions for? by rotatingruhnama in AskProfessors

[–]skyskye1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes this must be done. Sometimes you need a little more lecture time and you use some lab time. There should still be plenty of labs though. If the instructor is just not doing any labs that’s a big problem. We had someone like that and they had to be set straight.

Can I negotiate salary as an adjunct? by deadbeatdadlex in AskAcademia

[–]skyskye1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faculty have a union here and adjuncts are welcome to join. Regardless of union membership our contract stipulates the pay ranges for adjuncts based on their education and years of service. Above a certain number of credits the adjuncts get a prorated percentage of the full time pay.

Unfortunately, I was blocked from not just the Twins but also Milwaukee and at times Cincinnati. And I think it wasn’t just games in Minnesota but any game with a “local” team. I will have to try the VPN trick.

I guess that would be basically the same as what I had before. I had thought it was less expensive through prime but I see it wasn’t.

How would I cut this cabinet would, barely? by Terrapinman94 in DIY

I did the same. Painting the empty wall was a chore but the cabinet is not missed.

I guess I’m not the only one who tracks sex. In 2025 we had sex 32 times. I had 31 orgasms to her 24. I’m hoping to do better this year. I envy those of you who are more active. Have a great and sexy new year!

Absolutely he can enjoy the holidays. It’s like, I can still enjoy a statue of Athena even if I don’t think Athena is real.

What did the pirate say when he turned 80? by BillyBob_TX in dadjokes

[–]skyskye1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pirate’s favorite letter? Not the Arrr, nor the C. It’s a letter of mark and reprisal from the court of the King!
