dear top guy @ the university,
thanks for the Xmas card, the 2009 pocket calendar, and the handwritten note thanking me for being adjunct faculty. i'll be honest, i'd give all three back for 1 class next semester. i know, the economy sucks right now, and everyone is tightening belts. full time faculty are having to take on heavier loads. other staff are having to teach classes if they're qualified & able. and, i understand that the cost of the three things you just sent me in the mail, including envelope & stamp < cost of me teaching a class. but damn i'd like to be teaching.
plus, it's pretty cool cache to say you teach @ a university, even if it's just adjunct.
don't worry fearless readers, i've got enough work @ my other job. you won't find me selling blog posts on the street corner.

Yeah, it'll probably be a while. They finally admitted today that lay-off were foreseeable next year if certain aspects of the current economy and predictors didn't fall into place.
it sucks because my adjunct work is in an area that is doing alright. but i'm screwed because the traditional undergrad is suffering.
