Can an actual person who is an adjunct and who has fewer than 1000 posts comment?

Comment on what?  You haven't given us much.  And there's no request for info on a certain topic.  All I can say at this point is: that thinks.  Sorry you got canned.  Maybe it was the best because they are not good employers anyway.

I'm a graduate student, an adjunct, and a TT professor at different universities / day care nurseries / asylums and I have enormous breasts.  I recently sat on a committee / graduate student / cat and was accused of falsifying my application / sexual harassment / pancake flipping.  My name is Dimsdale and I am being chased by a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman. 

Please help me.

Sorry, but I can't help myself.  It's the breasts.

Now we see the violence inherent in the system!  Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

When you report me, be sure that you spell my name correctly: h-i-s-t-o-r-y-w-o-m-a-n

Well, I think they have a high placement rate, but most of those positions are not in the prestigious entertainment venues that cater to the high level clients.  Instead, they tend to be truck-stops in the middle of nowhere where the arrangement is paying the house for time on the floor and hoping to make enough in tips to make the effort worthwhile.

  What an interesting term.  Perhaps you should copyright it before those Houston Community College people steal it.

Would that be tickle-up economics?
