Deans in pjs
Thought I would update you on my new teaching job.
- The dean of my dept. lives in the same place as me - we've seen each other in pjs (and politely hurriedly passed each other in the hallway).
- When I used a projector for teaching they had to turn on power to the entire building.
- I can't tell what are the first and what are the last names of my students.
- I can get dressed 15 minutes before class and run downstairs to teach.
- At graduation many Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston songs were played.
- I have to work with a fan sitting 1 ft away from my face (and sleep with 2 at night).
- There seems to be only one chalk board eraser for the entire floor of classrooms.
- Students wander in 40 minutes late.
- They physically ousted the former academic dean a couple years ago (so I will be careful to not make too many waves).
- I have difficulty understanding what they are saying.
- Five thought ecology is the study of ground bark (and 2 changed their answer from the environment to ground bark).
- They actually remembered what I taught them last week!

Thanks for the update, SalSis!
So out of touch! You must be in Haiti! Wow, what an experience!! Is the dean a man? In any case I hope you will get to the point where you can great each other even in PJs. I want to hear more...
