Hi all.

I haven't read all of these, but the last ones were all different
from my position.

I am full-time faculty on a ten month contract, research
faculty as well as teaching and service.

With this leverage, I make sure that faculty/administration
realize that the Center exists to support their work but
does not exist to be a slave to it.  Since we are a big
operation (with little staffing, of course) I have a share
of a technical support person who does work over
some breaks so that she can work while the Center
is closed and the facilities are empty.  I also have
a fulltime staff person.  She does not work when
classes are not in session and is fulltime 12 month.

Best to all,
Mike Ledgerwood
