Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.

There’s a pool for number of last minute resignations before the start of the semester. Is that normal? #HigherEd

“Have a nice break” : You do know the institution is open & you required the offices to be “staffed”. During that “break”- adjuncts are still looking for their fall checks. Oh, and there are winter classes. Which can only mean “break” is a break from seeing you.

Not sure what Jyupting is.. Hope @apple iOS 16 will have Jyutping as Cantonese input or edit their site. @JyutpingApp and @Google Gboard Jyutping input has been pretty good for Cantonese learner.

Everyone should have exit plans for all occasions. Or at least be mentally prepared.

Administration is like Easter. You think an issue is dead, and three days later it comes back up.

Completely understandable from both side. Distance is not a good rationale. The shared printer is great when network are connected and staple. AA has to have plan B, C, and D in place. Why is AA still printing?

Some Friday afternoon years ago I was told by a department chair, they’re close on Fridays and don’t bother calling the department. Never bothered to ask for clarification, in #hindsight I should’ve. I should’ve asked to transfer to that department.

The job posting for an assistant adjunct professor at UCLA required applicants to have Ph.D.s but would be on a "without salary basis." A spokesman said such "arrangements are common in academia." The school eventually took down the post after protests. nyti.ms/3uYsgaS
