I don’t even understand what that word is supposed to mean?? I am team “maybe it’s a typo”?
Hil that sounds like a shitshow nightmare. Of COURSE just when you need her most they get rid of the lady with institutional knowledge

Like meara, I can't even tell what they're trying to morph there!
Oh, god, no, I just got it. Collaborate and focus? My eyes are @@ down the hall and out the door. Good god.

I was, too, at first! But that didn't track, and then it just popped into my brain... with so much "ugh." Pretty sure I groaned.

The guy who does the equivalent job for geology is supposed to be doing it for both departments now, but that really makes no sense, since doing it for one department is a full-time job (plus overtime) to begin with, plus the geology department is on the other side of campus, so there's no way for him to do any of the stuff that requires physically being at the math department.

I'm about 90% certain that the problem with the copier went from "there's a problem" to "this cannot be fixed" because somebody was copying stuff and the paper got jammed, and rather than get a staff person to fix it like they'd normally do, they tried to fix it themselves, and ended up breaking something permanently.

That seems like a very likely thing to happen anywhere where there is a copy machine

I’m not sure if I feel like collaborating or focusing. Can anyone recommend somewhere that could accommodate both?
