Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

Son has a couple offers for internships. So far we won’t be seeing him much this summer with the offers he has. Still a few more possibilities.

Crud, reminds me I gotta pay that Ubill in the week.

What types of offers is he getting?

Scouting, sales, operations. One of them pays a whole lot more than I ever came close to getting.

It was High School Sr. niece's senior night for swim team. The school did a nice job of it. We all went out for supper afterwards. Wow she is the last of them hard to believe they will be all thru HS when she graduates in May.

Internships didn't pay boo when I was doing them, good experience though. Accounting niece's internships have all paid pretty good from what I've been able to gather, and her job at the local accountant helping him during tax season is a pretty good gig also.

Even though it’s hard to believe at time, we get old fast.

That's the truth.

I was salary at 1600/month. But I left home at 6 am and got home to eat supper and watch cheers at 10:30 at night.

Do women find bow ties attractive? Outside of tuxes, just regular shirts or with a 2 piece suit.

 

[Rabbuk]

No, I'm in the system. That's how they bother to get around to it, based on a brutal schedule of weeks worked. It's roughly week 6 in a normal schedule, and late-starting classes are on a different schedule.

Off chance of a check arriving Nov. 15th, but it's DMACC, so I'm planning on the first one arriving November 30th.

whats your contract say?

Depends on the guy wearing it, I suppose. Some guys can pull off quirky and make it endearing. Some just look like dorks.

Just got a 90 second ad on manscaping.......

Watch out Ames people, your boy will be in town today!

In stupid meetings all day, but still.....

No contract here for adjuncts. Just an appointment letter which says nothing, then an e-mail referring me to a pay schedule.

That schedule indicates that one week of the course occurs during the pay period that would be paid on Nov. 15th, but their most likely interpretation is Nov. 30th, since all weeks in that one are paid then.

A key lesson here: Being an adjunct doesn't help a person professionally at all. It's not impressive on the CV, it slows down non-academic searches by showing that you're still trying to get into that field, and it doesn't pay. So, if anyone is looking at such a thing, make sure you have absolutely no other options in life first.

I did some for Waldorf, I will agree that pay is not great.

Got a cramp in my hip, did not know that was possible. Sucks when you can’t stand up.

Have you ever had a cramp in your groin? Worst pain I've ever had.

What part of the groin we talking?

Why is Woody Harelson in the Midway movie? Why does he get 75% of the roles he gets?(rhetorical).
The dude has been mis-cast since Kingpin. Between him and the boy band, I'll have to miss until it comes out on VHS or beta. The book is better.

Woody on Cheers was his best role. Kinda like Sean Penn playing Jeff Spicoli.

What part of the groin we talking?

Right in the crease between your torso and upper leg. Right next to your boys.

Was reminded of this song driving back from Ames yesterday (had a cystoscope at McFarland, my yearly cancer prevention check):

One of those songs that, when it got played at parties, people tended to drift off in pairs.
