Provo gorging in "the cafeteria"?!?!

Post by _Joey »

Looks like Peterson ain't too busy with all that he claims he is. He accounts for over 10% of all posts at the "cafeteria trough"!

Life's great being tenured! Might as well work for the gov't!!!

Actually 30 active posters and a couple of thousand posts on this new and exclusive site.

But what's the big deal about being truthful amongst fellow "ten percenters" - eh Scottie?!

Like I said - tenure is a great gig in our educational system!

There are 30 people signed up, but I highly doubt there are 30 active posters.

So what you're saying is that Provo is posting about as much there as he used to here.  I thought you had previously surmised that he had just become too busy (again!) to spend time on message boards as his reason for leaving here.

Self-perceived "big fish", accustomed to small ponds, always need to find new homes when the water rises!

But some things never change - in Provo, only in Provo!

I think it's probably fair to say that most, if not all of us post on message boards while at work. I know I do.

Would you like to call me out on the carpet as well? Or is it only DCP that is unethical in posting while at work?

Let me get this straight.

You are lurking at the post counts of a stranger and reporting them?

The guy posts 2 posts per day and you call that "gorging"?

Do you think it might be time for you to take a step back, Joey?

Could be one of the most stupid remarks I've seen here.  As owner and an employer, yes - it would be grounds for termination if I found those who I was providing a job and earnings to be spending their time on  company payroll posting on message/gossip boards.  Perhaps you and Provo may have a self created sense of entitlement that your employer is somehow not deserving of getting a full days work for a full days pay.  Thankfully, in this difficult time, I have great employees that appreciate having jobs and have the integrity to honor our mutual commitment.  Obviously you and Provo don't share those values.  Not surprised Scottie!  Only in Provo!!

Well------  Not sure what you mean by "a step back".  If you mean - "get a life", perhaps.  But I notice that, on average, you post about 20 times per day more than I do here.  However I recognize each of us find a life that is most fulfilling and gratifying to our own desires, abilities, interests and skill sets.

But I appreciate your candor and recognize that my time here has cut back on other things that are far more productive and meaningful.  Thank you for that Jersey Girl!
