What about me? My fingers were just itching to jump on the keyboard, but I refrained from even the "no comment" cop out. :) Of course, anyone who really knows me knows how I feel about unions, so I figured a comment was unnecessary.

It was only toward the end of my PhD program that AC became more common. Allow an old man to share a funny story. When Jimmy Carter was president, he gave his famous fireside sweater speech about conserving energy. Inspired by the speech, the president of the University (Kiser?) at the time issued a memo stating that it was civic duty to turn off the air conditioners (which were primarily window units at the time. His appeal went largely unheeded , so he ordered the maintenance staff to cut off the plugs of all of the air conditioners on campus. I was working in the computer room at the time and much to our dismay, found the AC would not work. When we pointed out to the president that we had delicate electronic equipment costing millions of dollars that would fail if the humidity and temperatures were not reduced, he agreed that he had made a mistake and ordered maintenance to re-attach the plugs on our AC units. This is where the story gets funny. The electrician arrived to re-attach the plugs when he observed that the AC units were mounted high in the room and over his head. He simply looked at us and told us that his union would not allow him to work over his head and that he would have to take the unit down. He then said that the unit might as well go back to the electrical shop where he could perform the task more easily. We responded that he could do that and asked that he do that right away. He responded that we would have to have another union task group come and get the unit down first and then he left. When the "get the thing down" union worker got there, his team removed the air conditioners and set them in the floor. We then asked that they be delivered to the electrical shop when the "get the thing down" union worker informed us that the transportation union worker would have to transport them. We finally got the transportation guys to take the units to the electrical shop, got the units repaired and then returned. We then got the "get the thing down" union workers to raise them back into place. By this time it was getting very warm so we asked them to plug the units in when we were informed that their union was not allowed to touch the electrical plugs and that we would have to call the electrician to plug it back in and then they promptly left leaving the cords dangling. Knowing that the electrician would not be able to plug the units in because they were over his head, I asked my boss to slip out of the room a minute. While he was gone, I climbed up and plugged them in, and turned on the AC. Only in America...

Ken, I have no idea what it costs to attend UF. Can you share? When I was in school, I think it cost something like $129 per semester or trimester and you could take as many hours as you could fit in. I took 18 or 20 hours one semester. I could be wrong about the $129, but I think it is close. I am old as dirt, though.

Thanks all. But, holy crap UF is expensive as an out of state student! I hope the financial aid package comes back a bit sweeter than the estimates. Right now, UF is the most expensive option of all the schools, including Northwestern and Carnegie Mellon. Also, it appears we are still waiting on confirmation if he is in for the Fall. He is accepted into the new Innovation Academy, but at doesn't stay until Spring. Should find out this week if he is also accepted for Fall. Still excited, just feeling really poor...
