    Holy hell that's a lot of assumptions just because I said "cleaning crew". Why do you assume they're minimum wage and disadvantaged?

    It's a relatively affluent husband wife team that definitely aren't being paid minimum wage. They are also kind of passive aggressive douches to everyone here. For instance, taking (edit: a single) pistacho that fell onto the floor and placing it next to someone's keyboard because they didn't pick it up and throw it away. Also the pizza box thing.

    Also several other things.

    Not sure why you think "they're low skill and low paid workers."

    I'd say this is about a medium temperature Tube Hot Take, with the high end of the scale being his opinion on most Netflix shows.

    Bit too low temp for marshmallows but good for slow-cooking a nice sausage or smoking a turkey.

    Tube not a couple months ago you expressed serious concerns about people in the community being gleefully critical of each other at the slightest provocation and it starting to become a genuine problem.

    I didn't say low skill.

    The answer to your question is "no, don't".

    Today at lunch I educated some of the teachers on the unfortunate side effects of selective cannibalism in tribal societies in relation to ancient misogyny.

    And their response was something akin to, "WHY DO YOU KNOW THESE THINGS!?!?!"

    A fair inquiry.
    What are the unfortunate side effects?

    Fuckin' prions. Prions are horrifying and more people should know about them.

    EDIT: NVM. Answered above.
    But what does that have to do with ancient misogyny?

    I guess Zonugal might be talking about the Fore tribe in Papua New Guinea. Kuru was mostly confined to women because it was the women's job to cook and eat the deceased. Most of the people who got kuru were women and their children who were passed tidbits of the deceased. This lead to a 3:1 male:female ratio in the worst affected areas.

    After disassembling five pens and doing some very rough rate calculations, I'm finally confident enough to place a second spring order. Pray that it will be my last.

    gonna reward myself with a bubble tea.

    also my supervisor asked me a bunch of practise questions for faculty interviews and they made everything seem way too grown up and adult, I'm gonna go live in a hole for a while.

  • KetBraKetBra Dressed Ridiculously Registered User regular
    The faculty interview process seems kind of like a nightmare.

    I sat in on one of the demo undergrad lectures the candidates have to give here, and some of the profs were just mean with some of the questions they asked.

    I'm legit blanking that whole part of the process out of my mind, because I'm pretty sure giving an undergrad lecture to a bunch of professors is a guaranteed way to give the worst lecture of my life.

    Yeah I think the point of those style of group interviews is to intimidate and see how you handle the pressure and how you interact with multiple people.

    Imagine a roomful of professors playing dumb about 1st year physics in the most obnoxious ways possible in the middle of what is essentially a semi-public multi-day interview process.

    Shit is nerve-wracking. It was bad enough that the prof in charge was like 'ok guys she knows physics, stop trying to trip her up with tricky questions and let her lecture.'

    As someone who is teaching faculty and went through this process the last time I was on the market, play it straight. Don't winkwink nudgenudge with the faculty because they're (ideally) seriously probing to see how you will be able to fulfill your teaching obligations. Sometimes, this can mean saying "That's a great question and one I will be happy to answer after today's lecture."

    For general advice, get a good night's sleep because the process is fucking exhausting.

    I left work early because my sinuses completely shut down. Due to the cold weather, the heat had been blasting all day, and according to the little thermometer in my office it was 77 degrees with a humidity of 16%. By the time I left I was so congested I sounded like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.

    I hit up the grocery store on the way home to grab some decongestant and, since I was nearly out, some dishwasher detergent.

    This is all to say that I ended up mumbling and gesturing at a pack of pseudoephedrine decongestant while cradling a box of Cascade pods at my local grocery store, and it took the pharmacist a hell of a long time to run my driver's license to clear the purchase. I think I might need to find a new place to buy groceries.
