- From 1992-2017, I commuted from Queens to Newark, New Jersey. There were numerous delays on New Jersey Transit, many of which were documented on my commuting blog. Almost every morning now, I hear about terrible NJ Transit delays on the TV news. I count my blessings that I never have to ride any of their trains. Avoiding NJ Transit is one reason I don't want to visit my former employer.
- From time to time, I peruse the websites of my former employer. (I choose not to name it here). Certainly, over 8 years, things will change, most of which is positive. Enrollment has grown with new programs, departments, and faculty. There is a new president and provost.
- Let me discuss changes in the library that I observed. The staff has grown with about 4 new positions. I am disappointed to see that the new librarians do not have degrees in the technical disciplines offered by the university. I can't understand why reference hours were extended to 9 PM from Monday to Thursday. During my last years there, reference transactions declined greatly. For many hours, I sat at the reference desk and had no interactions. I can not see this trend changing. Let them do what they want, as I am not there any longer.
