intent on getting myself in trouble? oh, of course - because i dare to disagree with the way the MSU english department runs things. or is it because i refuse to bow down to those allegedly "above" me in authority?

i merely stated that i find it to be bullshit that we are expected to drop everything we have planned (which, i assure you, is not a vacation) because the department can't decide until two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester to plan anything.

Not at all. agentgross August 12 2006, 16:03:21 UTC

No, where I see imprudence is in publicly calling someone that you don't seem to have met yet names (I won't be specific because I think your account is friends only, and mine isn't).

Just imagine: one of your "friends" is pissed at you for something and sees this post. S/he decides to forward it to Dr. C. Suddenly you have to work for an entire year with some seriously bad blood between you. It just doesn't seem like a good idea.

As for the "dropping everything we have planned," our contract has always started on the 14th. That isn't something new. They might not have known exactly what they were going to do, but they did tell us that we would have to be available from the 14th onward.
