The "get ready for Fall!" e-mails have started arriving.
The end-of-summer faculty meeting/boot in the ass session has been scheduled.
Book order forms and preliminary class lists have started appearing in mail boxes.
Fuck.
I just got back from vacation!
A quick look at my schedule confirms that I teach my last summer session class on Aug 15, and start the new fall semester on August 29.
Double fuck!
After the horrible spring semester, I was pretty crispy from burnout, and had decided to take summer "off" by only teaching one course. That was knocked galley-west by a colleague going out on FMLA, and I went from "summer at ease" of one class scheduled to "full boat" of three classes in the space of a week.
Everyone's papers are due in the same week, which gives me a fuckton of grading to do on top of my fall semester prep.
Triple fuck with whipped cream on top!
Looks like you've been handed the soiled end of the stick yet again. Are you the only person on your staff who hasn't had to hand their workload over to a colleague?
ReplyDeleteDamn... Was wondering if y'all had bolted, guess you've really been ass deep, and are about to get neck deep... Sending good thoughts your way Lady!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a bunch of moochers for co-workers.
ReplyDeleteI suggest shrugging.
