@SnarkDivine Best advice I ever got to help make summer productive: every day tell yourself "tomorrow is August." I find it really does keep me from waking up one day thinking "how the heck is it already August!?!?!"

Holy crap. SABER starts a week from today. How is it mid July already?!?!

@lizard_barnacle kicking off the first #INSBS2023 keynote lecture with some audience participation - "why do people reject scientifically valid information?" Discuss!

@katyhosbeinCER @CbasMtsu @MtsuMse It was a great talk! So glad the @MtsuMse and other @CbasMtsu students and faculty had the opportunity to meet and interacted with the twitterless Jack! Thanks for bringing him!

Before I start tweeting about #NARST23 I have to mention that Jack Barbera (#TwitterlessJack) gave a seminar last Friday at @CbasMtsu. I was so excited that the only picture I got was of his Converse. 🤣 I’m so happy I got to show him the amazing place I’ve landed. @MtsuMse

@SnarkDivine My place is a closet. BTW, for in the future, I find WTFV (channel 5) out of Nashville does really good, informative coverage without being overly scary. The were streaming last night so you don't need cable, an antenna, or a subscription.

Well THAT was terrifying. Just spent some quality time hiding in my closet, shaking like a leaf. So much for sleeping tonight.

@HTerletska I didn't mean to imply I thought it was ethical - I was just relaying my experience.

@HTerletska When I was a new assistant professor, my department chair implied there were many ways to get good course evaluations. He then told me a story about the best evaluations he ever got, just after he brought pizza to a review session.

@BrittNPrice Welcome!

I'm thrilled to officially announce that I have accepted an offer from Middle Tennessee State University and will be joining the Department of Geosciences this fall as a tenure-track assistant professor!!! #MTSU #geosciences

@UFCJCLibrarian From my sig file so people don't think I expect a reply when I work strange hours: If you receive this outside of your working hours, it is because I am working flexibly in a way that works for me. I respect other working patterns and do not expect replies outside working hours.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but if you send me an email at 3am I could really care less as long as you don't expect me to read it at 3am. I think we worry a little too much about what time someone is sending an email.

So nice to see the happy faces of the @MtsuMse students as they present at CBAS Scholars' Day!

Thank you @AmandaLakeHeath for your leadership in the @MtsuMse Program!

So proud of @MtsuMse students @jordan_kirby13 and @AmandaLakeHeath and their advisor @bleiler_sarah!

Potential Opportunity for @MtsuMse students

This looks like a great service opportunity for the @MtsuMse students!

@katyhosbeinCER @bleiler_sarah @TSECatMTSU One of my great sadnesses is that I did not negotiate for an MSE golf cart when I was hired. Then again, I've been told I wouldn't have been allowed to use it to commute.

But does your university have a golf cart to use to get across campus? @bleiler_sarah always arrives to our meetings in style. @TSECatMTSU

Love to see the quality work of @MtsuMse students and faculty disseminated nationally at #RUME2023!

So nice to have such a strong showing of @MtsuMse students at #RUME2023 this year! @CbasMtsu @MTSUGradStudies

@SnarkDivine In my defense, I sent the email at 5pm on a Friday. Seems like a reasonable time to be working to me.

Today is the anniversary of “The Best Dinner I Ever Burnt”: It was a year ago today that I got my MTSU acceptance email RIGHT in the middle of cooking dinner. I remember looking at my phone and going “who TF would email me at 6 pm ON A FRIDAY” and then I saw the email.

@AmandaLakeHeath @jordan_kirby13 I think they have finally stopped? Also, I have no idea why it took so long for someone to say "these emails are about your course evaluations."

@jordan_kirby13 The range of emotions I have felt through this email thread… embarrassment for the first person to reply all, severe annoyance to the 15 people asking to be removed from the thread by replying all, respect for those trying to explain the issue, humor, rage, now just defeat

What on earth have I done to deserve being on a listserv where when one person accidentally replies all I get 20 emails from faculty replying all AGAIN to say “I should not be on this thread”
