This no manger thing could prove to be a problem. Imagine the scene, three years hence.
A street corner, in a cold New England city.
A lady walks by a home-impared person.
"Got a dime," he asks "for an old mid-level technical manager?"
This will be happening all over the country, as companies large and small shed their carbon-exchange units.
There will have to be a government program to help these unfortunates of the "Programmer Revolution."
It warms the heart.
My, my, my, a bit nostalgic for the UGOD's (unadulterated good old days.) The commercialism of academia started long ago, to my recollection with the USF&G Sugar Bowl. No matter. It is a growing fact of life that advertisements intrude into more and more aspects of life. I'm willing to bet the campus net access is free, (actually covered by student fees, which you have to pay anyway.) This accurately mimics many other aspects of life. You COULD get free health care by going to the county hospital and declaring yourself indignet, but you really wouldn't want the kind of care you would get. You could use the "free but with scads of ads" internet portals, but I wouldn't want to. All in all, you should relax, the rotting corpse of the dead sacred cow of commercial free academia with fertilize your sacred grove.
