Northern Renaissance / Pieter Bruegel the Elder/ The Harvesters (July–August)

Sitting on my ass at home today, another “sick” day eating away at the ten “sick days” days that I have remaining.  Up in the morning drinking my coffee and trying to spend a little time chipping away at the planning for my soon-to-be minimalist lifestyle.  Mostly it is sipping coffee and kinda thinking.  But not really.  

Got to get to finish signing up for my winter quarter audits, or not.  I went and looked in at Portland State’s programs and it looks as though the rigor/wokeness ratio at that second-tier-almost-place is not to my liking.  Looks to be an even more egregious example of the dumbing down, job-training nature of higher education.  But I am certain that the place has fine jobs for every conceivable (or for that matter, inconceivable) “administrator” ever considered.  But I am not so certain that they are in the business of education as much as they are in the business of making money for their “kind”.

I am still in the process of thinking about the move over to Vantucky after retirement.  But I am almost certain that I will just be pondering the issue until after 1/21/22 and my freedom from this particular workplace.
