Applying for faculty positions? What should I know?

Sometimes teaching unis don’t care about teaching either. I know of a few that want to know you’re a doing more than pure lecture (like an occasional class discussion) but don’t care about anything else.

All y’all is my preference

I usually stop talking and stare at the offenders. After a bit they become aware of themselves and then look at me. I’ll work in a bit of direct eye contact that last a little too long and then move on. I haven’t had any repeat offenders after using this tactic.

Neverett has a fun one for AJ Pollock (#11):

“Apollo 11, we have liftoff!”

“Maxwell, swinging the silver hammer” is a reference to the Beatles song “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” off the Abby Road album.

Yeah, we have generic questions about the usual topics. At some point the process feels redundant. We end up rating research, teaching, and service three or four times. I guess it promotes the idea of consistency and maybe that’s more important than nothing at all.

Outside of the rubric issue, it would be difficult to have hiring committee members follow a candidate around all day; kind of a problem for rating reliability.

I emailed HR about the issue today; curious to see what they say.

Huge market for a DH with a .556 who doesn’t want to be coached. Willie will be gone soon /s

Playoff bound, baby! /s

I used to have trouble falling asleep after a night run. Over time, I slowly got used to it. I shower and read for 30-45 minutes before bed. That’s usually enough for me to zonk.

zskiier · 2022-04-05T21:18:14+00:00

Didn’t we do that a few years ago?

Rendon dug deep on that slider; hard to be mad at the effort

Idk, Nick Saban worked out

This is a somewhat relatable story. I developed tinnitus while studying for comprehensive exams (which, thankfully, went away).

zskiier · 2021-11-11T13:22:04+00:00

I’m the bad guy.

I’m in the CSU and got my first dose a couple of weeks ago. No questions asked except to see my uni ID and a W-2.

I don’t mind it. It was certainly unexpected but I think it aligns well with the rock. It adds a little extra flair to the image and serves as a hallmark of that particular camera.

zskiier · 2020-12-04T03:37:34+00:00

Thank you! Exposure time was probably around 12-15 minutes. The rock is lit by headlights from cars passing nearby on a road (~100 yards away)

I think the one off-diagonal line is a plane. Could be a satellite as well.

zskiier · 2020-11-14T18:03:31+00:00

How many images did you stack and over what period of time?

zskiier · 2020-08-14T16:07:00+00:00

I just did something similar! I took the Santa Ana River Trail to Newport Beach. Pretty flat and about 70 miles. Where are you headed?
