Until the workforce starts looking elsewhere for jobs, USM and FGH won't pay a penny more. And that middle manager you mention should only play the "better pffer" game if he or she is willing to move. Otherwise, it's just a bluff waiting to be called.

I'm afraid that the "match an outside offer" arrangement, which is typical for most businesses, is not viable for USM.  Just look at the emigration of faculty at ALL levels, and you'll see that the current administration is not willing to retain any faculty member with a "better offer from somewhere else."


And, since in general, faculty are much more mobile than staff, it would be a great surprise to hear that any USM staffer was able to "leverage" an outside offer into a raise.


Of course, the above is NOT pertinent to "special individuals," like hand-recruited administrators or MIDAS recipients.

I already said that you and I were obviously talking about different things. Then you proceeded to impute to me a lot of opinions and assumptions which I don't actually hold.

You have a nice day.

Sorry, already gone. My response was to M.S. not to you.

Not sure what wacky dictionary you are using (perhaps one found in the USM-D'Lo library?). Truth

Dear Truth,

Our library may be young  but we count some excellent collections among our holdings,  as well as several fine dictionaries which were generously donated by Hudson's Dirt Cheap in Petal.  In fact we're bursting at the seams and in dire need of more study carrels for our 100+ Economical Development doctoral students.  Chancellor Johnson has already requested $7,300 in emergency funding for additional library space. If approved by the IHL, we feel this sum will be sufficient to purchase a serviceable used double-wide mobile home.  We intend to connect the double-wide to our main library structure by a covered catwalk spanning USMD's Shelby Freeland Thames Memorial Catfish Pond, which as you may know,  is the centerpiece of our campus.  Preliminary artist's renderings are nothing less than stunning.


As Dr. Johnson says,  the coffee's always hot and the door's always open here in D'Lo. Come visit our lovely campus the next time you're in Mississippi and I'll give you a personal tour,  including the library.


Yours truly,
Maybelle Melvil Dewey, M.L.S.
Head Librarian, USM at D'Lo

Has LVN used the old "be gone" routine on an individual whose statements she cannot negate?

But after the way you people treated Monique, it won't be nearly as pretty as it could have been. Of course, it won't be pink, either.

No, she has used the old "I have better things to do, and this isn't getting anywhere" routine on an individual who makes wild sweeping assumptions about me, and thinks I should take the time and trouble to argue each of them. No thank you.

Now, good day. Make of it what you will.

Petal has aided the D'Lo campus in many ways.  God love y'all.

the good news is clear
the interim discussion
has faded away


it seems we're happy
to give Joe Morgan a shot
to work with Shelby


and good luck to him
he will daily face tension
between right and Thames

In the past wrote: Ask questions. Ask lots of questions. I have a question.  Is this the same Joe Morgan who had a Hall of Fame career as a shortstop with the Cincinnati Reds back in the 70's?  I know Thames is a jock sniffer,  but why in the world would he hire a former major league baseball player as CFO?  Or, did Joe attend college after his retirement and study business,  or accounting,  or economic development?

Dear Sports Fan and Others,


     I was checking in on things in Hattiesburg when I read this message.  First of all, your Joe Morgan is different from my Joe Morgan.  But Sports Fan, where did you come up with this Joe Morgan shortstop stuff?  Why everybody knows that Joe played second base and Dave Concepcion played shortstop for the Big Red Machine!  I thought you Sports Fans in Hattiesburg were world class, but maybe not.  Try and keep those pitches in the strike zone!

                                                                        Manager, Big Red Machine
