Alternatively, it takes one instructor only 5 minutes IF they were not constantly badgered by PL's and PD's.

Whiskey here: hehehe
CCI managment does not necessarily screw in light bulbs. The actual process requires 5 CCI staff members: 1 to try 2-3 time per week to turn the bulb on via phone and email and document the effort. 1 to encourage other dim bulbs to come and get scerewed in. 1 to collect thousands of dollars from the fed to (over) pay for alledgedly attempting to screw in bulbs. 1 to claim that, after 9 months, the bulb has finally been screwed in (if only for a day...) and 1 to fabricate - and then hide - all of the documentation associated with the process of screwing in dim bulbs.
Wow, the Heald folks are kind of freaks, aren't they? Oh well, I guess then I won't feel so bad when they file bankruptcy.
OP: Four, one to do it and three to complain that the old bulb was a lot
better.
042: Wow, where is your building? I used to travel for the company, and can tell you that our facilities ranged from A to F. I've never heard of anything like that, though. Are you Heald? I went to a few of those after the initial purchase and the thing I remember most is that they smell like mold.
My building is disgusting! Not sure how I could fix it and run a campus.... Raccoons (at the very least 19), bees, birds. mice, mold, asbestos, leaks . ALL PONTENTIALLY CAUSING. my employees health issues! In over a year they have done NOTHING!!!!?!
This Heald cult stuff is priceless! For one, obviously our Heald friend is being sarcastic ("recruit that vagabond on the street"). Also, you need a laugh when you're facing a future as uncertain as Heald staff are. It's not so much a precarious situation, as it is impending utter doom.
The news needs to hear us!!!
For as long as we have people like OP in the mix, screwing up a light bulb or moving in the right direction will take a long time.
006: 150 years...? You're conveniently forgetting about the last 6 or so years under CCi. Your honored institution has been rendered into nothing more than another scam, thanks to CCi's ELT. By chance were you there for the 'clapper line' outside 6 Hutton Centre when Heald came to town? That was not a welcoming tribute; it was the death-knell for Heald's historical culture of real education. I know it's heartbreaking but face reality and move on.
76006 -- What cult do you belong to? Oh, Heald.
76006 has it right. When all of us "know" the next line in a conversation, then we are moving towards a change in culture, the "Healdiness" that we all feel but have not been to express fully...until now. Let's keep changing the culture. Talk with a student in class. Talk to a colleague in the bathroom. Recruit that vagabond right outside your campus. We can do this because we do stand on 150 years worth of giant shoulders.
You forgot to include the bit about how Leland Stanford picked up his degree from Heald and you'd rather have it than some snobby degree from Harvard or UCLA.
At Heald, it would take many. Not because we are staffed with buffoons, or because incompetence reigns. No, it would take a village because it would be 150 years worth of hands turning that cutting-edge L.E.D. Bulb. You know what? That is just fine by us. Healdiness is not some fancy neologism. It is how we do things. How we change student lives. You snark, we make the future. 150 years will do that to an institution. So read this, grab another Schlitz, and call it a Saturday, sir. We'll be working hard long after you are asleep, changing student lives.
