We haven't hired in 4 years but what a huge time suck that is (if you want to do it right, that is). Fortunately, there's a nice payoff in September. I hope you will have at least some time off! I turned in my grades yesterday. Today we are driving 12 hours through a snowstorm to get a puppy! Sarah,

Why did you start blogging? Is it ‘work’ for you?

I love the thing about checking that your comment didn't get misinterpreted by later commenters. But that's important! Sigh. Sometimes when I have a deadline, oh ho ho, my blogging ship gets SO in order! Hey, thanks for the wolf Secks shout out. Such a critical topic for today, I agree. Oh, so funny!

Just substitute the parts where you are grading a paper or two with constructing a paragraph or two. I let the cat in, out and in again (offended)at least three times! Great post:)

Delete unethical draft blog post

Unethical humor is a major temptation, but this demonstrates that you manage to keep a grip on basic decency even during grading:

Quick note to student identifying and apologizing for chocolate stain.

I’m sure the student will be relieved. I mean… your explanation will void any unpleasant conjecture. I mean… it’s a good thing you explained.
