Those tabs are all for work. Those fics are for the project I’m finishing this week (oh, look. @copperbadge fic gets cited in an academic journal). The spreadsheets are course grades, due in T-minus 9 days. Blackboard, two email accounts, youtube vids I’m citing, the remaining two articles to write before December 15 mocking me from GDocs, and the facebook chat I’m using to ask former students for tenure letter recs.
This is insane.
In the last three months, I’ve taught three classes of mostly freshmen, tutored 40 hours, written 15k words of theory for three different projects, managed a committee while being a member of three others, managed a website, and took over tech support for our floor of the building. I haven’t called my mom in weeks.
I miss Tumblr.
I miss my bed.
I miss talking to people.
The tenure folder is due six weeks from tomorrow.
I’ll see you all January 15. Until then, send spoons.
