Much kitty~ma for Harvey, Andi.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I do not like frakers.
Yes, this. Who knows how many tasty streams have been fouled.

Eek. Well, one school where I interviewed says that they're going to offer me the position once they get some paperwork through. But I don't think I want this job -- there were a bunch of things that they told me in the interview that made it seem like not what I'm looking for, and it's in Detroit, and I don't think I want to live in Detroit. Though I don't know that much about Detroit. It feels risky saying no to the only offer I have, but a lot of the things they told me about the job during the interview are similar to the things that I don't like about my current job, which are among the reasons I'm leaving it. So going to a different job with a lot of those same issues doesn't seem like a good idea.

Well, how much of your dislike of the current job is the job, versus the place and the people?

This job would be entirely teaching lower-level courses. And I'd be OK with that if it were a place where they were doing something interesting with the curriculum, or were doing research on how students learn, or something, but it would pretty much just be teaching algebra to get students through their math requirements.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you, Zen.

Yeah, that's an unfortunate artifact of the shift to NTT teaching, Hil.

Yeah. Several of the others where I interviewed had the NTT people teaching more of a range of classes, and seemed more like they actually cared about pedagogy. At this one, they were saying "After you teach the same class a bunch of times, it's not that much work -- you can just reuse your notes" as if it were a positive thing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All best to Harvey and his humans.

Some areas near Detriot are supposed to be nice, Hil, if you do decide to take it. I believe my sister recommended Royal Oak when I was looking up there.
