Bugger

DH's interview went well. He liked the company and the work he would be doing. Then they talked money. It is a non-profit company. What they are offering is no where close to what he was making before, plus the job is in SF, so added commute costs.

Bugger.

I would gather that most professors frown upon cheating as would deans, presidents of universities/colleges, etc.

They frown on drinking too, but it would not occur to most college students to report that.

I am the sort who would confront someone about plagiarism, but not cheating. I see it as their problem, which I realize is totally inconsistent.

I didn't know you went to BU

For grad school. 2001-04.

If you knew of someone who was lying to get ADC or food stamps, would you turn them in?

Ooh, trickier question, in my book -- are they lying because they totally don't need them, or are they lying because legislation from unconnected politicians has meant they can't get them and they desperately need them?

And no, she's a no-show for the third week in a row. Guess I'll call her. (Also, I thought "you have e" meant I'd failed some class, and there was a tiny moment of raw shock before I figured it out.)

I'd turn a cheater in. I feel like the person cheating isn't just doing themselves harm, but also doing ME harm in the overall sense of justice.

College is competititve. Students have to compete to even get into college. And if someone gets in there who shouldn't be in, or gets to stay in simply because they're cheating well, that just pisses me off.

It may be aligned with the power structure of the institution, but by allowing it to go on, I'd be hurting myself as well as the institution by not reporting it.

See, I was an RA, so, well...we can see where this is going... Guess I'm just the reporter type.

Rude.

Hee!

If you knew of someone who was lying to get ADC or food stamps, would you turn them in?

Nope. The Gypsies that lived downstairs from me in Boston were all working welfare/SDI scams. You think I wanted a Gypsy curse on my ass?

Rude.

Not really. This is my old supervisor, who was oceans better than my new supervisor, and she really just keeps forgetting, and I never call her because I'm always thinking, "Oh good, I can get this thing done instead."

Well, if you're an RA, that's different. It's your job. I step into personal situations here all the time which I wouldn't as a coworker, because I am the HR person and it's my job to do so.

You think I wanted a Gypsy curse on my ass?

Those are only *really* bad if you're a vampire.

Well, I was an RA too, but I felt my role was to counsel my freshman and enforce a semblance of peace. They had to answer to my authoriTAY.
