For the next week, I'm the Acting Vice President at the University that employs me. Ask me...

[triguy46]

anything.

[redwitch]

1. Will this make you conceited or power mad?

Will you name a building after yourself?

[triguy46]

2. Both conceited and power mad. Not a building, I'm changing the name of the University...

Triguy46 Institute of Advanced Studies and Polytechnic Leisure Clothing.

[redwitch]

3. I like it!

If you'll promise my kid a big, fat scholarship I will make sure he applies!

[triguy46]

6. Its important for a concerned parent to make as good impression on the Acting Vice President...

as the little learners.

[BrotherBuzz]

4. How about implementing a moratorium on fines relating to overdue books at the library?

[triguy46]

8. No fines. We are stopping letting students check out books. They are ours not theirs.

[BrotherBuzz]

15. Well, possession is nine tenths of the law, or something like that....

I'm selling YOUR books I checked out of YOUR library in 1972 to the highest bidder on Ebay, so there!

[triguy46]

18. We have our ways. Don't anger those who control the food and free broadband.

[Faygo Kid]

5. Who's your vice president role model? Agnew? Quayle? Nixon?

Who do you see yourself emulating?

I hope it's Agnew. Nothing like wads of cash in paper bags being delivered to your office.

Long as it isn't this guy:

[triguy46]

10. Captain Queeg, perhaps, (roll, roll, roll). However, there's something ...

to be said for everyone to be responsible for planning their own retirement, so please use a brown paper bag when carrying cash, used bills, thank you in advance.

[KansDem]

7. I've got a PhD and two Masters...

Can I get a job there? Huh? Huh? Pleeeeeezzzzzze... I'll wash your car and mow your lawn, too! :hi:

[triguy46]

11. Yes, a non-tenure track position, 5 freshmen classes beginning at 7:30.

Oh yes, they are 5 hour classes, and you won't have time for lunch in our non-existent faculty building.

[KansDem]

14. Oh, thank you!...Thank you!...Thank you!...

You don't know what this means to me! :D

[triguy46]

17. I do, which says quite a bit about the professorial job market.

[Critters2]

9. Taking any annoying faculty types on a hunting trip? nt

[triguy46]

16. With their free time, faculty can either attend my 4 hour speeches...

on the importance of effective administration of higher education, or hoe the garden.

[libnnc]

12. Can I skip comps?

I'll just take my MA in US History and head on outta here...

k? thxbai.

[triguy46]

13. We have an option to comps...

do the words 'involuntary servitude' bother you? You scratcha my back, I'll scratcha your transcript in the appropriate spots.

[TZ]

19. All right then...

How about a "freedom from exams" week. That would rock!!!;-)

[triguy46]

21. I believe it is the right of all students to continue their education...

without the burden of 'passing' or 'learning' both of which will be waived under our new long term tuition plan.

[rug]

20. What happened to the Actual Vice President?

[Critters2]

22. Yeah, what happened to him/her?

This whole "Acting Vice President" thing seems a little suspicious.

[triguy46]

24. Something about a conference, yadda yadda, whatever.

I'm "acting" which in our vernacular is 'fill in' for a short period, as opposed to "interim" when we get around to firing the bitch.

[CreekDog]

23. So you went from Academics to Administration...

What was the corresponding reduction in your IQ?

:evilgrin:

[triguy46]

25. I skipped the time wasting academic part totally...

I don't know HOW I ended up with this gig.
