Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That sounds exciting, Sue.
Do you guys think someone should be a Dean of something or for something? All of our Deans have titles like "Dean for Student Affairs" and I think it should be "Dean of Student Affairs". We also use "to" for Administrative Assistants. So I am Administrative Assistant to the XXXXXXXX Program. I think it is weird and off-putting. My boss is the Director of Program XXXXXXX. and our Dean is the Dean for XXXXXXXX.
"Dean of..." sounds better, but I don't think "Dean for..." would throw me if I heard it without someone pointing it out.
I'm thinking Dean is equivalent to Vice-President, so I like the "of" option. Admin works with "to", because you're an assistant to someone. If a Dean is a Dean "for" something, what is the action of Deaning?
I have known people in a position called Dean of Students in primary and secondary schools, but everything at colleges looks like it's "for." At least it is at Harvard Law School, which is the first thing google showed me when I finally typed "dean" and not "dead."
Work~ma for all y'all. Damn Tuesday, stop acting like whiny-ass Monday.
Get better~ma to Ryan, billytea. I knew I forgot to type something yesterday.
ION, I took last Thursday and Friday, and today as vacation days. I have done work every day of my vacation. Some of it was time sensitive, but this last conference call I was on could have waited until tomorrow, and I'm peeved about that. Work phone is going on DND, and I'm not fucking answering an email for the rest of the day.
Isn't that near Kew Gardens? Neat! Anyway, a job offer would be a great way to celebrate the week after your birthday. Good luck with it.
Yes! I am pretty excited. Although I read the time of 12:30 for the interview and assumed it was 12:30 my time, not BST. But, no. I am having one of those days.
And don't take it as a vacation day!
"Dean of" is the phrasing I am used to. And what wikipedia is showing me.
REAL VACATION FOR MARIA
And don't take it as a vacation day!
Already processed as such due to our timekeeping system, but the next two days I take off are not going on the books.
Looks like Trump is making a comeback. I wonder if it's because Hillary coughed.
