Also - adding a new person adds cost & time, this is ALREADY a large show
robinrahne 8:38am
I hate when people do that shit.
catnik 8:38am
he gonna find me another $200?
robinrahne 8:38am
Ask him.
catnik 8:39am
He gonna find me another 15 hours or so?
robinrahne 8:39am
It’s also possible the student is trying to pull a fast one.
catnik 8:39am
I sent him an email asking who she is replacing
robinrahne 8:39am
Good.
catnik 8:39am
obviously, he wouldn't add someone after I explicitly told him 14 was too many! 😇

robinrahne 8:50am
Just like my admins wouldn’t shove disinterested freshmen into an elective designed for juniors and seniors?
earldebuke 8:52am
I am amused at this art of admin/chair management
robinrahne 8:53am
It’s a lot like judo.
catnik 8:55am
grumble
earldebuke 8:55am
"See how i use the weight of my foe's arrogance against him by turning the force into a direction I please?" "very good, sensai" "You're damn right it's good"
catnik 8:55am
I feel so helpless to act
earldebuke 9:02am
Is there a third party you trust for advice at your work place? Someonw who might know the lay of the land as well as you so to speak?
catnik 9:03am
well, maybe she IS a replacement
catnik 9:03am
I'll give him that chance
earldebuke 9:07am
nod whatever happens can determine future dealings so to speak
catnik 9:08am
yup
robinrahne 9:10am
The problem is when an admin is on a power trip, and decides they can do what they want, regardless of how it impacts the “underlings.”
catnik 9:11am
Exactly
catnik 9:11am
Maz is always a problem with his shows
catnik 9:11am
but as chair, there is nobody to reign him in, and in the college, our department is... shaky...

He's the ONLY tenured facutly
catnik 9:11am

catnik 9:11am
so.. yeah

shadylady 9:32am
Crap. Ok, well .... add everyone back in. Probably my bad, folks.
earldebuke 9:32am
OH. That explains a lot
robinrahne 9:32am
You earned a suburban mom moment.
robinrahne 9:33am

earldebuke 9:33am
