Must have been a nightmare, for whoever signed the lease.

I think it was Chip and Bonnie Rieva. Don't know about the spelling..

Maybe it's like a bad habit or something..

Finished one exam today, the computer class. That was like shooting fish in a barrel. The instructor was probably the most dedicated one I've seen to date. Was the only one I've ever seen, who was in a morning class, more than ten minutes early.. and almost unbelievably, he had all homework, exams, and final grade posted within four hours. so it's three commutes left.. two exams, and once for graduation..

I think that would make an ideal "selection" process for da new pres.. line them all up. moneyhands, kiddo, all the other supposed apparent successors to the throne. Apply kosher salt LIBERALLY. The one who can crawl off to fresh water and emerge in a less than jelly-like condition.. you've got a winner..

hmm. Interesting observation.. considering that the current pres strongly resembles a mollusk of which you speak, maybe that's the "therapy" to "fix" twi.. might even fix the north carolina social register.. about four or five pounds of kosher salt.. yeah, that would do it..

yeah.. well, I remember what it was like the first time through calculus, algebra, learning the multiplication table.. outside of a few brief flashes of "brilliance".. and I think everybody has them at times.. I learned math the old fashioned way.. hard work, lots of study. Learning on a schedule can be a nightmare at times..

I share that distinction at times.. the "stupid" part that is.. hey, what am I saying. I actually passed P-chem..

I don't think it was quite that black and white.. I'd admit.. things would be be far more understandable and such if conditions were that black and white..

Thanks.. well.. I might be able to motivate them. I know I'll at least eventually be teaching math 090 or something.. it's what I wanted to do. I'm sure I'll hear the same objections.. "duuuuuh.. why do we need to learn this.. we'll NEVER use it.." I look at it like.. if one can't balance one's checkbook.. one can PAY someone else to do it.. and STILL not know whether it was done by Queen's rules..

Yep.. two final exams. Then graduation. Oh, the seminar.. an exit exam on wednesday. This university does not offer a Master's program in math. The other one I applied to does.. they accepted me a month ago. Today, I got a letter, they offer me a teaching assistantship. I don't know whether I'm qualified, or if I just managed to fool them.. so it's "free(?)" classes.. a stipend (enough to budget for the year).. and they will actually PAY me to learn how to teach college students.. what more could an old hippie want?

I was thinking of his "replacement" though. Sick and pitiful, professionally speaking.. So where DOES one get a job watching cornfields and "taking care of" unwanted cats? who knows.. maybe it's a hobby..

seriously.. but one of the biggest "victims".. somebody who's convinced to leave a promising career in law enforcement.. to watch a corn field "for gawd and da ministry".. what will one do in twenty years.. when *they* tire of you.. twenty years experience, running off old leadership vagrants, and "dispatching" unwanted cats on grounds.. won't look very good on a resume..

Then there's another half dozen or so.. old twi "leadership".. put out into the world.. haven't developed themselves along professional lines.. no professional connections.. can't see six inches past living a "life" running meetings, planning "advances".. no real confidence in their GOD GIVEN talents.. the confidence.. I think was beaten out of them. Some it never came back.. I've seen some wander like orphans until an offshoot picked them up.. I think they are victims of the highest degree. Now geero.. I think he missed his "calling".. he could have been a mall cop.. same for *mr* l*nder.. hmm. well, maybe watching a corn field for harmless old fanatics trying steal a little dirt from the graveyard.. "dispatching" a few unwanted cats on grounds or something.. *it's a living*..

Then consider J*hn L*nn. Probably one of the bigger "victims". I think of all of the leadership, outside w*lter.. he had the potential to really DO something in life.. now he cries in the darkness, mourning the days of "der way, it was.." That's really, really, pathetic.. I pity him.

There were other "victims" as well.. consider the character they kept running off of the graveyard on grounds.. he was (or is) THEIR product, is he not? groomed.. top leader kinda guy.. or rather, perhaps WARPED. Warped.. to the place over forty years later, he still thinks the waywoods are some kind of "holy ground".. or a national "spiritual monument".. something like what Arlington represents.. never got over it.. likely, never will. It's just an observation. I don't think he has anywhere else to go.. except for a close lookalike to der way. My opinion.. it's pathetic.

I think rosie had this little political game of "chess" figured out eight or ten moves ahead.. I'd say they already had the spin written.. how the "unfaithfulness" of gawd's people.. them failing to cross over from Canaan to da "promised land" just hurt da manogawd's little heart.. "allowed" him to succumb to da debil's influences.. and about sixty percent of the people would have bought it, and stayed.. and renewed their efforts (and abs) to amend for their "error".. you can't tell me.. that the possibility of having to deal with this scenario didn't come up for discussion at one bot (at the time) meeting or another.. right *mr* L*nder?

that's the reference. I'm sure they wanted the buffoon alive.. not for intrinsically affectionate reasons..

Plus consider he was put under a form of "supervision" for a while.. I don't think it was because of rosie or donna's soft hearts either.. if he offed himself.. it probably would cost far more in damage control and spin than what it cost to "place" him at the time.. anybody else, they'd toss them to the streets without a second thought..

seems a common theme here though.. I can't think of a single university or community college that would REQUIRE that a request for a transcript be moved up the ranks to the vice president's desk.. doesn't that seem "odd"? There used to be a registrar there.. you'd think he (or is it she now..) would just DO THEIR FRIGGING JOB.. what the crap do you need? Departmental head's permission to apply for a postage stamp? The community college I went to a couple years ago.. I made a request for transcripts.. and they had them sent out the SAME DAY..

Intriguing.. that a person would have to consider hiring a lawyer to get an "institute of higher learning(?)" to comply with a SIMPLE request for a transcript.. I dunno. Maybe der way is simply that incompetent.. can't get it together for five minutes, and rise above that level of incompetence. Maybe they just burned all the "copouts" records during a burn the chaff weekend or something.. I wonder if I should send for mine..

some of us found a little independance going out into the great unknown.. I know where my wow pin is (or was).. I may never see it again.. I dunno bolshevik.. maybe one would have to go "sowers" to understand it.. Please don't. there are better things to uderstand..

Maybe in the loyster's own mind he's a victim.. stripped of herr vicster's conferred "honor".. abandoned by the "household" of der vey.. and reliable witnesses related here that he STILL (at least recently.. last couple of years or so) doesn't think he did anything wrong.. after what he did.. I'm suprised KSU hasn't tried to invalidate his bachellor's degree.. I think some schools do that.. pull in the welcome mat, so to speak..

Yep.. they're a dime a dozen, I guess..

Yep.. for the life of me, I can't figure why.. it's not like *we* are the *problem*.. a sad, poor, (as far as organizations in the who's who are concerned) second-rate organization.. yes. They somehow deem it necessary to monitor the "devil's" activities..
