snipped for brevity's sake


OK, I think I got you pegged now. Did you post on the MCC Paddle
Prattle looking for advice on starting a boating program, or bringing
a swif****er safety instructor to Charlottesville for a weekend, or
sumpin' like that? Or am I just remembering enquiries you have made
here on r.b.p?

Yer job sounds like a more formalized version of what is called, on
many campuses, faculty adviser to the Outting Club.

Although I have posted several questions, I think the one I got flamed
for was about correlating river levels, CFS and difficulties of rivers
and trying to explain it to non-boaters / administrators. I think
someone suspected I had an accident in the program and was looking for
something to CMA. I was looking for a canoe instructor at one point as
well but I have mostly just posted on rbp.

As for my job, UVa has an outdoor recreation program which is a part of
the Intramural-Recreational Sports Department (who also maintains the
fitness facilities, runs the flag football leagues, etc.) and that's the
one that pays my salary. UVa also has a student-run Outdoors Club which
is completely separate. UVa has contracted independent organizations
which receive student funding but are not technically part of the
university. But since our program is a part of the university, we enjoy
all the privileges that entails such as liability coverage, monetary
resources, etc. Overall, it's not a bad job and gives me a reason to go
paddling on a work day every now and again instead of having to take the
day off. You know the bumper sticker that says "a bad day on the river
is better than a good day in the office" - well, for me sometimes the
day on the river IS the day in the office.
