It was a good idea – and a good post. It took me a moment as well – different way to vote. Most people will go away before voting — unless they are as stubborn as I can be. 🙂
Your instructions are clear – and I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Yeah, and my toes, and my eyes… All crossed. My math-and-engineering cousin asked how she was going to tabulate the votes. I am also wondering – it seems to be a tremendous undertaking, if done manually.

She is VERY generous indeed to spend her time tabulating votes.
When I first began OFI there was little automation to be had (and what was there was beyond my budget), and doing everything manually practically did me IN.

For my dissertation, I had to process pre- and post- scores of almost 6,000 students. Had I not secured help of a couple of student assistants to access the existing data and enter it for me, I would probably still be working on it, 22 years later.

I teach college, you know, not “school” school, and I’ve taught nights for years, first when I was running my school during the day, and then when I had to take care of my father during the day. Now I teach 4 mornings a week, and I have a chance to enjoy dinners with my husband every night – life is beautiful!

Sounds wonderful. I’ve never actually checked that out, since I don’t have any official “teaching” degrees and a few life struggles didn’t support my PhD goals — but maybe they’d be interested in some of my other credentials. hmmmm . . .
Of course, they’d have to agree with letting me teach at night since I live alone and don’t wake reliably to sound.

First of all, you don’t need a teaching degree to teach college, as long as you have a graduate degree in your field, which you do. Secondly, community colleges LOVE adjuncts who teach at night, and most of them do not require a doctoral degree, so your Masters should suffice. I started teaching college 28 years ago with an MA, and did an Ed D while teaching at the same university. Some of my professors were my colleagues – it was hilarious. If you like teaching, go for it!
