Back again
Well, the semester has started back up again. New semester, new batch of eager young minds. New batch of hot young things, young enough to be my daughter if I'd let that happen. Today was the first day meet and greet. Fill out forms, meet the prof and me, get the rules. And a couple of them actually stood out. One by the way she was dressed (cut off jean shorts (and I do mean SHORTs) and what I'm sure were black leotards; they were stretched so thin that they looked grey. It didn't help the way she was sitting. Lets just say it wasn't very ladylike.), and two by the fact that they started their lab hours TODAY! And one was in both categories. Some days, I love my job.
Most days I love my job.
Most days I feel very old.
I also get to TEACH some of the classes this semester. Boss is going out of town for a NBA gig at the begining of Feb. 4 classes, and 2 more in April. I'm sure if it goes OK he'll push a bit harder to give me the gig as an Adjunct Professor, so far he's only mentioned it to the Director.
My UGA (undergrad assistants) are changing again. Back are the two on probation, and gone are two who are changing majors, one to Business, and one to something he's good at (or at least has an interest in). But overall we're down from where we'd like it, only seven where we prefer closer to 10.
Theater installation is progressing. Kind of. Mostly just waiting for the University contractors to do stuff. Like bring in cable to hook up the main dimmers. They (or I) need to hook up the units before they can be tied into the main electrical panel. Our first show starts in the begining of Feb. And the floor still needs to be tiled, risers carpeted, and houselights dimmed (the houselights are dimmable fluorescent, but they don't have the proper dimmer, so they don't dim. And there's only one switch, in the booth.) Patience, Grasshopper.
Weather about 70 tomorrow. Screwy state.

I've got "dimmable fluorescents". Around about 25% they pop on or click off, depending. If you hold at about 20% or so, they flicker on and off.
I don't like them. They look like ass.
Better luck with yours.
