But to get the passport I'd need a Real ID? So..wha?

My photo looks like I'm extra on the Walking Dead.

alas

First one "We'll have to do it again, glare from the glasses. Lower your chin please."

I do so. Strands fall... because I haven't had a trim in 3 months

oh joy

How are you?

eh

today turned into all workish stuff

the provost is a weasel

he seemed surprised that the faculty were upset about a reorg that we were not consulted on, in the midst of a pandemic, during cotnract negotiations (which include several insulting proposals from the admin)

Anything you guys can do about it?

well

one of the full profs in music got him pinned down to say YES, we will be one department

we couldn't even get a straight answer about THAT previously

I thought it was two depaprtments one shared chair ?

¯\(ツ)/¯

They didn't think this shit through

they cut 18 chairs, but didn't take a penny from football

(And again, are surprised that the faculty are less than thrilled)

What's the excuse for that? "Football is the money maker!" or something?

football is good for recruitment!

Yes. That's why students pick colleges. Football teams. Head desk

I wonder how the younger generation feels about the insult of "We assume you don't give a damn about your future professions OR you keeping your student debt reasonable... nope. .. you're here because our team has the prettier helmet and wins more"

yeah

Don't get me wrong, a good looking helmet goes a long way

still

the whole thing is annoying

But that's just silly and I'm sorry folks are trying to sell you that manure log and calling it a scented candle

pretty much

On an unrelated note, I am listening to a comedic superhero audio book where our protagonist and a villainess are breaking into a debate/fight about how one puts on socks and shoes

My Dad's favorite colloquialism was "pissing on my leg and calling it a warm summer rain"

ha. Heard that one or something like it

The villainess insists that you do sock shoe sock shoe... dressing one foot, then the other. Our heroine insists that no, you put on sock sock shoe shoe... .. you put on both socks THEN shoes.

heh

I am NOW wondering what kind of monsters put sock shoe sock shoe out there when Sock sock Shoe Shoe IS clearly right

well

in quick changes, you do

that way they only lift their foot once

but changing socks is rare

Well, I suppose for quick change... but otherwise Sock Shoe Sock Shoe makes Baby Jesus cry!

It's always sock sock shoe shoe for me, but I wear socks always and shoes only when going out

NOw i want pizza

today was rough

pizza.

We had lemon chicken, cauliflower rice, and green beans. It was nummy AND left room for chocolate pie.....

Pizza! ❤️
