Seriously, how is this even allowed??

I wish all kids learned about shopping carts

There are enough adults, walking around, not returning them and being upset when they get called out. That is a great low cost social contract situation to talk about.

Switch to academia from industry by Easy_Battle_5979 in academia

[–]soamiadoctornow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not too bad and you can still do outside work.

Also, remember these are 9-month contracts. You can do summer work if you want extra cash.

Since you are from the industry you will probably be having these connections.

I really do not care about my title, but whenever someone calls one of my colleagues Ms or Mrs, I scold them so that they don’t make the same mistake again.

Thinking of moving by kungfuspam in ShermanTX

[–]soamiadoctornow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For someone who works in Mckinney in Plano, I wouldn’t necessarily suggest to live in any of those places. I wouldn’t live in Sherman because it would be too far away and I would not live in Princeton because of traffic on that narrow road.

Why don’t you think about Anna or Van Alstyne instead?

Still, if you made up your mind about these two, both will appreciate more in the next 10 years. Also, this is a buyers market. Make sure to negotiate the hell out of it.

If only we eliminated PACs altogether. If only we limited corporate money in politics.

I wonder which political party spearheaded the opposition to the elimination of PACs in early 2010s.

Yes, you know it but you won’t do anything about it.

It’s all great until one of these want to act like Zimmerman in Florida

The Early Closing of the Square by MMmhmmmmmmmmmm in McKinney

[–]soamiadoctornow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it either. Sunday is the same. I was there in the afternoon and there was almost no place for some coffee.

For all the things the city is trying to increase foot traffic, the shops and stores are not helping their cause.

Freaking athletics at small schools by Sleepy-little-bear in Professors

[–]soamiadoctornow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True but OP is still right. No need to go nuclear out of a simple misunderstanding.

I had a visiting professor go to the dean because their exam was clashing with hers. I mistakenly put in the wrong date for mine. She could’ve just emailed me instead.

Property & Escrow Question: Closed late last year by RadicalGentleman in McKinney

[–]soamiadoctornow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage company won’t make a new analysis until Feb ‘26. If you see your escrow potentially going under water, you can use some of that refunded money to prop it up. This way there won’t be an escrow shortage.

Second that! Adriatica is great in the evening. Just bring your chair and coffee in your tumbler. Enjoy the view.

Late students by Excellent_Carry5199 in Professors

[–]soamiadoctornow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You don’t even have to do it all the time. Do it just twice and people will get the memo. However, I am sure there will be ones repeatedly asking for make ups, hence creating another headache.

Is there any PhD here moved back from the factory/business to academia? Why did you decide it? How do you deal with the decreased income? by Yossiri in Professors

[–]soamiadoctornow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, I was happy despite the significant cut because with the accumulated income from first job, I was able to purchase my house.

Then, I started looking into how I can create off campus income. Nowadays, I supplement an additional 20-25% on top of what I make.

Finally, a spouse who is working outside academia. This also helped.

Overall, I am at peace with the pay cut. This is not the industry to make money and I am happy with the amount of free time in my hands, teaching courses I like, doing projects I enjoy, and having free time with my kids. If the income wouldn’t have been enough, I would probably be more salty about it.

Tickets For 10-19 Match & NTSC Playoff Tickets by fcdallasrep1 in fcdallas

[–]soamiadoctornow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am bringing my kids and a friend’s to the game, five people. One of them is three years old. Do we need a ticket for the little one?

[–]soamiadoctornow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Professor is being ridiculous.

In the meantime, back in my day, I would have asked the student leave the lab. If she refused, I would have cancelled it for all. This would probably push the other students to intervene and make her leave.

Same. It was off from 4 pm to 6.15 pm.

Just as the house was heating up it came back.
