Thanks, Linda! Now, a really dumb question for you . . . Should I talk to someone at UMUC to apply, or should I go through the computer system for jobs? 


Best, 


Melinda

Hah--I love it!! And yes, you should think about full time, Melinda. And I think that you should consider applying--what have you got to lose! Worst case: You go back to being an adjunct! Or better worst case: They give you a full time fac line! 


Hope you apply. And feel free to list me as a ref. 


Best-- 
Linda

Hi Linda: 


Did you see the one that went "I love cooking grandma and my kids"? 


It was presented as a problem in comma non-usage, but I thought a good old preposition "for" was what was required. 


I am starting teaching my first African American Studies course on Monday! Tony Lee who heads that program told Mark he'd like me to take over Mark's position! With Elinor at 13, I am wondering if I could swing such a thing -- work Tues-Thurs morning in Largo, and do the rest of my work via telecommuting? 


Just pondering . . . 


Hope you are enjoying this luscious Fall weather. 


Melinda

Warning: Parts of it are a little raunchy (comma sutra), but other parts are really cute. 
eg: 
What's another name for Santa's elves? 
Subordinate clauses (HAH!)
