River Crow<p>I hate working with STEMM students. </p><p>We have a whiteboard where people can write stuff - current prompt is to write something motivational.</p><p>I come back from lunch to find someone has written:</p><p>"We have more money than the humanities combined, lol".</p><p>Entitled, privileged, utterly selfish comment to write during a massive funding crisis in HE. </p><p>Awful human beings. </p><p><a href="https://gamerstavern.online/tags/Workposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Workposting</span></a></p>

River Crow<p>Heh, work emails addressed "To whom it may concern" crack me up, especially when it's just someone trying to reserve a book. We're not that formal, folks, just "Hi" is fine. </p><p>I do, however, get irate at the equally over-formal ones that start with "Dear sir" - have you time-travelled from the 1800s? Amazingly, women (and y'know other genders) can work these days, and even go to university. Wow. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/workposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workposting</span></a></p>
River Crow<p>another workday in HE, another set of emails uncritically supporting so-called AI, events on inclusion and neurodiversity that are only held in person in a windowless basement lecture room, and messages from senior leaders who earn more in a year than I do in ten about how we're all in this together while budgets get cut. </p><p>here comes the new year, same as the old year. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/workposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workposting</span></a></p>
River Crow<p>In work today, so naturally this poem is relevant again:</p><p><a href="https://write.as/theriverpoet/the-mill-grinds-slow" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">write.as/theriverpoet/the-mill</span><span class="invisible">-grinds-slow</span></a></p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poem</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/dailygrind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dailygrind</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/workposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workposting</span></a></p>
