  • Web Ticket Entry – Helpful Guidelines Address Field
    Web Ticket Entry – Helpful Guidelines Address field: Only use the addresses field if work is actually taking place at the address or across street from the address. If address is used as reference point, (please include this in the driving directions part of the ticket. (Example: Dig site is across the street from ___________) However, it is best to provide directions to the location rather than referencing from an address. If the address is in a rural location, please check “Yes” and indicate the town closest to the location in the directions field. If the address is a Highway address, please include driving direction. If it is rural, also indicate the town closest to the location Any address outside the city limits will require driving directions from the nearest main intersection. (A main intersection is defined as a Hwy intersection or a section line road intersection). If you are working at a new address (such as installing new services), it is a good idea to include driving directions. This will possibly keep us from sending you an email requesting more information. Nearby Major Intersection: Please provide the closest major intersection to your job site. Major intersections are defined as Hwy intersections, section line road intersections. Driving Directions: Start all driving directions from nearest major intersection; preferably no more than 5 miles away from dig site. Directions should include compass directions (spelled out) and mileages to the location, ending with which side of road and a description of the property. o If County Road or highway is known by another name, please include that information with directions section of the request.

  • A Feminist Criticism of House
    Lutzker 1 House is a medical drama based on the fictitious story of Dr . Gregory House, a cruelly sarcastic, yet brilliant, doctor . Dr . House works as a diagnostician at the Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital where he employs a team of young doctors who aspire to achieve greater success in their careers . Being a member of House’s team is a privilege, yet the team members must be able to tolerate Dr . House’s caustic sense of humor . Because of Dr . House’s brilliance, his coworkers and bosses alike tend to overlook his deviant and childish behaviors . Even though Dr . House’s leg causes him to be in severe pain every day, and has contributed to his negative outlook on life, both his patients and coworkers do not have much sympathy for him . The main goals of House’s outlandish behaviors are to solve the puzzle of his patients’ medical cases . Dr . House handpicks the patients whom he finds have interesting medical quandaries and attempts to diagnose them . By conferring with his team, and “asking” for permission from Dr . Lisa Cuddy, Dr . House is able to treat the patients as he sees fit . He usually does not diagnose the patients correctly the first time . However, with each new symptom, a new piece of the puzzle unfolds, giving a clearer view of the cause of illness . Dr . House typically manages to save the lives of his patients by the end of the episode, usually without having any physical contact with the patient . Dr . House has an arrogant and self-righteous personality . Some of the lines that are written for Dr .

  • Chaos, Accomplishment, and Work, Or, What I Learned on Paternity Leave
    Prof. Young- FINAL PAGE PROOF 0306 (Do Not Delete) 3/6/2020 9:15 AM Chaos, Accomplishment, and Work, or, What I Learned on Paternity Leave ERNEST A. YOUNG* Late in life, minding my own business, I was blessed with a baby girl. My wife, Erin, was a federal employee and thus—somewhat surprisingly—not entitled to any maternity leave other than accumulated vacation and sick days. As a pampered law professor, on the other hand, I received a full semester off, so long as I was the primary caregiver to the child. Put that together with the usual summer vacation, and I had a full six months to spend with our little bundle of joy after Erin went back to work. I found it a difficult experience. This was not because Caroline was a particularly difficult baby. There was, to be sure, the usual quantum of screaming and sleep deprivation. And as a scholar of the structural Constitution, I find the completely unaccountable power of an infant who can neither be reasoned with nor overruled difficult to accept.1 But I came to realize that the real reason for my discomfiture was that what I was doing in caring for my daughter did not fit comfortably with my accustomed notions of work and accomplishment. Working through why that was so can, I think, tell us something useful about how we think about work, the messages we send our students about what they should aspire to in their careers, and even—perhaps—a philosophy of social change and the good life.
