In a previous lifetime I was laid off three times from an architecture office in DSM and hired back twice. Getting laid off that third time was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. After the third I moved to Minnesota and only returned to Iowa for ISU games and some family stuff. Didn't learn the term RIF till I went to work for DoD. Didn't think it was really used outside the military or federal departments.
It's why they don't allow guns on planes. Based on some of the ******** in that thread I think I should be allowed to conceal and carry as a senior. Maybe make me an air marshal.
According to some other threads anyone over the age of 60 should just be put down.
I had to google this. 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Tag line: "Revenge never looked so good". It says Mike Myers is in it. Is this the Mike Myers of Wayne's World fame?
One campus for 5-8 and one main one for the rest. My HS closed going into my senior year, so you could say I’ve been through the worst case scenario. I transferred to a different school and turned out to be great for me.
It's funny, when I was watching Bohemian Rhapsody they got to the part with Mike Myers and I said to myself why did they hire someone that looks like a Mike Myers character? Then I looked it up and it was a heavily made up Mike Myers. I just thought that was an odd casting decision.

They wanted to get him in there as a nod to Mike Myers making a whole new generation of Bohemian Rhapsody fans in Wayne's World. They also liked the fun of having an actor who played a character revering the song in one role slamming it in another role.
Watch this keeping in mind that Myers was headbanging to the song in Wayne's World.

I guess being older and remembering when that song was released I never thought of it that way.
It sure has. It almost needs to be either shut down or sent to the cave at this point.
Two middle schools for how many students? Ames has one middle school for a little over 1000.
No, they have two locations. One for the 5-8 middle school and one for the prek-4 and high school. They would need to add a different gymnasium, probably fix the two lockerrooms on the second gym, add maybe 4-6 class rooms and they would probably have what they need. They could eliminate a lot of transportation, repairs of a very old building, one administrator, one cook, a janitor, a grounds person and the equipment needed; and that is jut the start. That is why I say it's an easy 200-300k savings. You can get everything in one location and have a newer facility. They have several people moving back and forth (music, band, PE instructors, maybe art) and a couple people doing some of this and some of that, a couple are ready to retire. They could just absorb those with one facility and you are talking now like pushing 400-500k in savings. 10 years and that new construction is paid for.
I've been wondering just how "elderly" stormin is. He can't be that much older than me...
