After some 27 years, last Sunday @ 8pm EST I turned my back on a career in academia, specifically as an admin monkey at one of six law school libraries in Boston, MA. My only regret is not jumping the stinking, hardcore liberal cesspool masquerading as a pillar of higher ed a decade earlier. The relief and sense of release is overwhelming and truly magnificent in ways hard to accurately express. The last straw, ironically, was being told that any employee who wasn't fully 'vaccinated' on August 16 would face termination. Not to worry, I wrote in my resignation. My last day will be August 15. On to bigger and better things. Some of us won't roll over on what we believe in, hold dear and will put their dough and careers on the line over. Your institution believed everyone would fall into formation and like good lemmings would do as we were told. You were wrong, at least in some cases. See ya, wouldn' want to be ya. Next life stage coming up, and I'm ready, willing and able to crush it. FU SULS and everything you represent. Free at last and all that...

Damn! Good on you!!!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈. The next phase will be great!
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you let them fire you? Wouldn't you have legal recourse?

Nothing is worse than working under duress of some sort of threat, like mandatory vaccination.

Friend B, after researching legal options and caselaw, concluded that any litigation would be a crapshoot drawn out over years, if not decades. Not worth the trouble and effort, especially considering the committment pushing a suit against a well-funded institution would entail. Sometimes, a man has to know when to cut bait and live to fight another day. Hope all's well w/you and T and the bitches. A and I were just talking about your mob earlier tonight...

I can't stand this vax mandate crap. Health care is personal, none of their business.
Best thing you can do is tell them to stick it up their ass.

The first half of life is just the warm up....The second half is where all the best action happens.
Enjoy the next phase of your life and maybe some of us lucky enough, may get a chance to see and enjoy some of it with you.

JFC here comes the wishy-washy BS. All I want to know from you is whether you and your landlubber crew boated any salmon today and if you bought a plane ticket for December yet. Get yer act together, hippie.

Ha!
Here comes the next Walmart Diversity Hire..... I knew I could count on your support, Mr. Ooglik (aka chubby Jim). We Pacific Islanders/Slopes/Blubber slurpers need to stick together. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I have dictionaries for sale, BTW. Only $12.99 a pop. $325 shipping though, but will consider beef based negotiations...

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
