With all of the power outages at unis in the northern US and Canada this week, I have to ask: Did someone feed this guy after midnight?

This seems to be a trend in Canada today, with several unis having the same issue. Wait. Is the US going to invade Canada too?

Mount Saint Vincent University is closed until further notice due to a power outage affecting all buildings except the Sheila A. Brown Centre for Applied Research.

I'm not "involved with maintaining essential operations" here, but if I "accidentally" turn off the right pieces of equipment, I could make the argument that I need to "work from home" for the rest of the day...

My neighbor spent about $80k on his son’s college finance degree. His son graduated, filled out 105 applications, and couldn’t land a finance job. Right now, he’s managing a Jimmy John’s while he “waits for a break.” Then my neighbor said, “I’m going to introduce him to some of my friends so he can get an entry-level role.” And it hit me. If the outcome is still who you know, not what you studied… what exactly did the $80k buy?

Co-worker: Noem was fired due to her "unfortunate leadership failures", but she's going to lead “our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere”? Me: Think of it this way: She's basically a terrible @ass_deans who was removed by being promoted to a vague new role. CW:

Someone help me out here: Are we the only place that has a "Communications Director" who doesn't read internal emails? I mean, "communications" is literally in their title. Who do they think they are, @ass_deans ?

In late September when the temps dip into the 50's, boots, sweaters, and puffy vests come out on campus. When temps climb into the 50's in February, the shorts and crop tops come out.

In a faculty/staff meeting, @ass_deans says, "Due to the new accessibility rules going into effect this spring, faculty can no longer post PDF files because they aren't accessible. Only plain text files will be allowed in our LMS. Me and every faculty member at the same time:
