Being an Adjunct
I’m not a real prof… I’m an adjunct: Academic Pond Scum. I teach for hire. I love to teach. The upside is I don’t have all those pesky meetings and advising to do. The bad part is I have to teach a lot more to make the same money, no benefits, and no respect. On top of that, I do online classes. So I’m lower than pond scum. No one in the department ever sees me. Out of sight, out of mind.

You are killing me. As The Semester Turns was beyond funny. You’re in the wrong profession. You should be a comedy writer. I had to read all of your posts to “get” the “blue whale” reference. What a hoot. This is a good way to vent. : D
Dx mom.
