If you look back, ...Just FYI to Anon/Staff @ 9:43:<br /><br />If you look back, the second comment on this topic included the word "staff" alongside "faculty" - along with some others.<br /><br />I don't think anyone would say that Roy has ever overlooked the challenges and working conditions faced by staff across the campus on the blog. Case in point the issue surrounding Wayne Ward, etc. <br /><br />Your "never" is a bit overstated I think - or maybe it has to do with the area in which you work, I don't know. You sound like you're having a bad day.<br /><br />Indeed, I think staff are among many of the commentators and regular readers of the blog (In fact, I know it is so). <br /><br />Perhaps you should consider just how inclusive the "we" is that people use. All do respect, I think it means "you" too.<br /><br />We are all indeed in the same leaky boat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-10776669805385312512010-10-12T09:43:14.031-07:002010-10-12T09:43:14.031-07:0011:31..your elitist posting proves my point a tenf...11:31..your elitist posting proves my point a tenfold. Sorry I didn't spell correctly, again, YOU pointing that out as an issue again proves my point. I didn't comment about pancakes because I felt that was the obvious feeling throughout the thread. I just have an issue with faculty like YOU always whining "what about us?" and never once saying anything about the rest of your coworkers. Yes, coworkers. Even though we don't have 4 BS degrees, 2 Masters and a Phd, we are indeed your equal if not greater since we are here 40+ hours per week. We were busy working and running things so you could go become an overeducated elitist. We're the ones you call because you're to stupid with your head up your ass to realize you kicked the power cord out and that's why your light, computer, phone, doesn't work. So for you and your a posting, FU!<br /><br />To the person that did acknowledge the position staff is stuck in, THANK YOU!

At IVC, emails are sent by the college without any thought to relative importance (e.g., Glenn is forever forwarding wordy and arcane state "budget" emails; <i>why doesn't he write two sentences to explain them?</i>) and so, naturally, after a while, one becomes disinclined to open some of these "announcements." One's time is worth something, after all. Further, stupid things occur so routinely at college events (e.g., prayers and windy/empty speeches and more gratuitous prizes for Speech or Goofy Kiddie Inventions), anyone with intelligence immediately cringes upon hearing that another one is planned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-13090572181940421912010-10-11T15:04:41.754-07:002010-10-11T15:04:41.754-07:00Anon @ 1:57:

I think the poster (not me, btw) simply was expressing a wish that perhaps certain faculty would be notified - after all, many of us teach during the celebration time. <br /><br />OR perhaps the poster was referring to the many times when various adminstrators, Glenn included, take the stage - award ceremonies, commencement, high profile events, etc - and announce people's names without first checking to see if they are actually in attendance. That happens all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-61584360154456717992010-10-11T13:57:39.212-07:002010-10-11T13:57:39.212-07:00I like how one poster said the following:
