It must be harrowing<BR/>to pass from your existence on the other side of the looking glass out into the rest of<BR/>the world and back again each day.<BR/>You all seem to be handling it very well, though. Perhaps they should call that fellow canceller (of academic standards).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-1140147559719020132006-02-16T19:39:00.000-08:002006-02-16T19:39:00.000-08:00Dear Perplexed:Imagine a world very like the one w...Dear Perplexed:<BR/><BR/>Imagine a world very like the one we call "normal." In this world, occasionally, someone will ask you for your chimp, whereupon you are expected to fork over a speck of lint from your classroom ceiling.<BR/><BR/>I used to ask such questions as yours. <BR/><BR/>Our college has "Honors" courses. There are no special entry requirements. They're just called "Honors" courses.<BR/><BR/>I remember I colleague who took a sabbatical. His sabbatical project? Visiting all of the major golf courses in the U.S. No one batted an eye. (Well, I did.)<BR/><BR/>We have an illiterate jackass in our district. He thinks he's clever when he says, "When you point a finger at someone, three fingers point back at you."<BR/><BR/>They call the fellow "Chancellor."<BR/><BR/>So, what was your question again?Rebel Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695051285325585662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-1140144449860592912006-02-16T18:47:00.000-08:002006-02-16T18:47:00.000-08:00Chunk, can you or anyone explain to me why they wo...Chunk, can you or anyone explain to me why they would use the term "technical assistance" for what sounds like an attempt (at least a nominal one) at mediation or conflict resolution? "Technical assistance"? HUH??????? "Human Resources" is a bad enough term, but must we humans be turned into objects at every turn? As so often when I navigate your lovely blog, I am dumfounded at entering the twilight zone without notice. Thank you for any light that you can shed, and for all of the light that you do shed already. I'm a big fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-1139932077760268582006-02-14T07:47:00.000-08:002006-02-14T07:47:00.000-08:00Wow, Chunk, you really put in some hours covering ...Wow, Chunk, you really put in some hours covering this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Do you get FLEX credit?<BR/><BR/>Or at least a sombrero?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
