Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

the word cowbell now makes me burst out laughing EVERY SINGLE TIME I read or hear it. DAmn Walkin and Farrell.

I haven't even SEEN the actual skit, just heard friends riffing on it, yet I hear Walken's voice, plain as day, whenever I see the word now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did I miss anything in the past week?

The dept. chair at a small private college has asked me if I would be interested in teaching a section of one of his classes and wants to know how much I would ask for payment. I need to find out how many class periods he has in mind, etc. What I don't know is what would be reasonable fee. Any thoughts/advice from the hivemind?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One Meeeelionnn dollars.

But seriously, can you pro-rate from what a full-time prof's salary would be? That's just a guess....

eta: OK, pro'lly not a prof, since you're not one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, I have that book, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I'll kick it up a couple notches in the queue.

Kate, let me know if you're interested in Tropicalia after the book. I've got a bunch, and it's on the expensive side so I could send you some.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a wildflower status of 7?!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

aurelia, my impression is that adjunct faculty basically make zero dollars. Or like one or two dollars, tops. But that's as much as I know.

This is going to be hard to judge without knowing their standard contracts. We pay $5000 at my large public university. Nationally known private universities pay more. On the other hand, the local community college pays $850.
