Douchenozzle Problems
Sitting in Starbucks….some guy just yelled at the barista for being out of something…I think it was a type of bagel). As he stormed out he called this “the worst Starbucks he’s ever been to”.
I want his life where that’s the hardest thing I have to deal with every day.

Hard Reboot
At security, some morbidly obese guy went to the store and bought the female TSA agent a pack of M&Ms because she “looked like she needed some”. I know this because I heard him trying to explain it to two male TSA agents. If this is how my day is going to be, I want to start over.

Just because someone does not “have a family” does not mean his/her time is less valuable.

Let me get this straight...
You want to offer me a job with more job security and the possibility of tenure, pay me more than I asked for, move to a much larger and much cheaper city, and work 2 fewer months of the year? Srrsly?

Bonus of having Harvard Yard “occupied”—hardly any tourists getting in the way. Now we just need to launch “Occupy Science Center”.

I'm trying to hire teaching staff
And I’m kind of shocked at how informal the email inquiries/responses are.
I’m not one for unnecessary stuffiness, but I like my emails to start with a “Hello Dr. ___________” when it comes unsolicited from a random undergrad looking for a position.
Call me old-fashioned.
