So far, I'm still winning, though.
I'm so glad to hear you say this!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
However, the universe is seriously testing my abilitiy to maintain this attitude. So far, I'm still winning, though.
This is very good to hear!

and it looks like they've got me teaching 16 first semester, so I'm not sure if that means that I'll just have 8 second semester, or what.
I would ask them about it. You may have the same schedule next semester and then you're stuck with it because you've already taught the 16 credits.
OTOH, it may be that they alternate heavier loads one semester so that you have time to focus on research in the other semester. But, I think that you said that this wasn't a research position? Or am I confused?

I just got the schedule for the courses I'm teaching first semester.
Hil, belated congraulations to you on your successful defense and your job!
However, if I have deduced your new university correctly, I think that this makes us rivals, because I teach at another big school in the same athletic conference.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hang in there, Sean. One of the most frustrating things for me is that epiphanies don't magically bring about change (which is an epiphany, but I keep having to relearn it... recursion!) I think what I'm trying to say is bumps! They happen! The path out of depression is anything but linear.
Speaking of, sometimes putting a word on what I'm feeling/doing is so damn gratifying. Drift - [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, Rick.

It's not a research position, it's just teaching. I'm still going to work on research, but that's not an official part of the position. I'll ask about it.

Which is really, really annoying, but something I have to keep reminding myself of.

Sean, I am really glad to hear that.
