I bring you a message from the year
2005...
12/31/2004 10:47 PMWow. Dude. 2005. That's fucked up right here. Two thousand and five
years into the Common Era. Which is like only a hundred generations or
something. One hundred tiny links in the enormous chain that includes
my mum, my gran, some weird hairy ape-like ancestors and a few large
numbers of protozoa (among others). At the moment of course it's 2005
in Europe and it's 2004 in America, which means that for the next few
hours we Europeans get to enjoy our flying cars and jetpacks and stuff
before the Americans collapse the wave-function and leave us with
Desperate Housewives and Pot Noodle. It's 3.15am. It's 3.15am and it's
the first day of a brand new year. I'm bored. Are we there
yet?

White men bad; white dogs worse
White men bad; white dogs worse
04/05/2005 09:24 AM
We spent the weekend in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with an
anthropologist friend who has two 3-year-old bitches (Lab and
Husky) and 4 acres of land on which Alex and Sammy
could play with them. One of the nice things about colleges
located in areas where real estate is cheap is that the professors
live close to the campus and are available to students for informal
dinners and shared extracurricular activities. Thus over the
weekend we encountered a few other Gettysburg College
professors. I asked one of them whether faculty could bring
their dogs to work. She replied "The college's Affirmative
Action lawyer, before she left, made up a lot of new rules. One
of them was that junior and senior faculty could not sleep
together. Another was to ban dogs in the buildings."
This is a good measure of how desperate PhDs are for jobs as
college professors. The college pays lower salaries, to people
of the same age, as the public high school down the street. The
high school teachers were able to go to work at age 22 without
suffering through a long period of starvation wages as graduate
assistants. The high school teachers are union members who ever
have to worry about losing their job, compared to the college
professors who live for 7 years in fear of being tossed out as a
middle-aged has-been ("denied tenure" is the polite term for this
event). And now these poor souls are expected to get through
their day without a dog at their side and without the possibility of
an interlude with a more senior professor.
[Note to parents: if you want to know why tuition prices have
risen so fast, consider that a very small liberal arts school was
paying a full-time lawyer to work on affirmative action; Walmart has a
"Chief Diversity Officer" but they had $billions in revenue over which
to spread the cost.]
