This goes out to all my prior students (all one of you over the years) that discovered I post to this blog! Hmm, having an old student reading my random rants on even more random topics, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, its a thing. Hope you like comics!

Holiday party status check: Your place in the pecking order.
Holiday parties are a great way to remind you how replaceable you are. Take coworkers who were friendly the day before: The untenured actively ignore you, newly tenured purposely insult you, and full professors just can’t be bothered talking with you. Adjuncts eventually get herded like cattle into a little circle in the corner. Who …

Dying to get healthy
Day two of my “two day liquid only plus one day fasting” diet. Think I’ll die before I’m “cleansed” of toxins.

School’s Out for Summer
At least until July when I start teaching again. But for now, I’m done with my teaching job–four days before the deadline! Time to enjoy the long weekend after grading a billion papers and to get ready for the flood of angry emails from students unhappy with their grades.

But I’m Stimulating the Economy
My credit card number has been stolen. Third time in six weeks! What really makes me mad is that the crooks are having better times than I am.

Burned by the Match Maker
Click on the image if you actually want to see it. Gary and I did this; despite us both being swamped with school work we still manage to create a comic now and again and I’m able to have the misfortunes needed to inspire it.

An ArmzRace get together
Because you demanded it (or didn’t, I can’t remember), here is a picture of the big three of the AR–displaying some of their works–during their August get together. It’s a lot like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman of the Justice League (Note: I’m Superman).

Escape from New York (not the movie)
Cej and Mark! are trapped in NYC! First an earthquake and now a hurricane. If they don’t make a comic out of this….

Iguana Vacation
For those of you who saw the original posting, my apologies. There was a very silly typo in the title that I caught and Gary fixed and yet guess which version I post?! Anyway, if you didn’t see that one: Yay!

Why isn’t it Saturday?
Left home today without my wallet, my new phone doesn’t feel like working, walked into class all set to teach next week’s lesson, have a killer headache, and have a lot of work to catch up on. Can’t we just agree to skip the next two days?

Get a Grip
I spent far too long the other day talking with (actually, just listening to) someone who was so completely full of herself as to leave me dumbfounded. I’m all for having self-confidence, self-promotion, and being proud of your accomplishments; however, if you are middle-aged with braces, living in the middle of a hick town you …

ALA or Bust? Busted! Part II
Once at the ALA conference I thought things would go smoother. To a degree it did. The conference hall itself was certainly nice enough with plenty of venders and events to keep me busy, but, despite how hot it was outside, I really didn’t see the need to keep the temperature hovering around -30, something …
