I just met my new boss
I'm a faculty assistant, and it's typical that someone in my job would support 2 or 3 people. Well, as of July 1, 2 of my 3 people left, so I've been supporting only 1. (Frankly, I was a little worried for my job there for a while.)

Anyway, I was told last week that I would be getting a second person to support and today he just introduced himself. He seems very nice.

He says he's new to teaching (he used to work in the Research Computing department) and that makes me kind of happy. I find it's much easier to for me if my boss can work into my routine than the other way around.

3. Why do I get the feeling I'm missing something here?

4. "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who.
"Meet the new boss...same as the old boss..."

Sorry, just an adolescent humor attack.

5. Ah... no wonder
I'm not a fan of The Who. That's why the reference got by me.

6. lyrics from "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who . . .
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

(small instrumental)

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

(instrumental)

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

(instrumental)

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

(instrumental)

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

7. The song
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 11:00 AM by HFishbine
Pete Townsend wouldn't let Michael Moore use in F-911. (It's okay for GM to use "Happy Jack" to sell evnirnmentally treacherous Hummers though.)
