Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Hili is inspecting the terrain:
Hili: A whole settlement has grown up here.
Me: Yes, dear Hili, we’ve been living here for so long.
In Polish:
Hili: Całe osiedle tu wyrosło.
Ja: Tak, kochana Hili, mieszkamy tu już bardzo długo.
Good to see you’re out and about. A change of scenery is good the the soul
A lovely photo of Hili! Thank you, Andzrej.
+1!
You are out of date about research grants as measures of faculty worth — the rules you quote simply state policy in place for decades. Where I was, in the early ’80s, a job candidate was told that a RO1 grant was a requirement for tenure. As we’ve (re)learned, grant overhead money is fungible — as is all money — and supports many university projects (and admin bloat) behind the scenes. I once gave a public talk upon receiving a local public award whose (cryptic) title was “Government as king; academic as courtier.” The last scandal about misuse of grant funds was about perks for administrators (fancy offices; expensive parties); now it’s about DEI.
Tom, you’re on the wrong post. You want the next one!
Thank you. I find the descending line system confusing. In honor of your nom de internet, my late mother in law used to sing in church a hymn to “Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.”
