Joba has some kind of psychological problem and should not be pitching in a major league game until he figures this shit out.

I suppose this is a faculty Joba? I think it’s amazing that you guys are interviewing/hiring at all. We have had a freeze that will continue in the foreseeable future, and I know a number of universities are in the same boat…

:) Oops!
Man, I thought Joba was a way to refer to a generic job applicant (from prev posts as well) as CPP’s institution was going through some belated interviewing and the candidates all looked like they were wideeyed etc.
And I thought the pitching in this post was a clever metaphor for “you are not ready to be faculty at a top notch institution”!
I will go hang my head in shame and never comment again. ;) Naaah.

The thing of it is that Girardi and Cash did it to him– it’s like they were trying to destroy the poor kid’s psyche.
I don’t know how they fix that, but I blame them.
