So proud of my communications students this Fall term 🍂🍁 Over 15 wks, these undergrads grew so much 🙏🏾 They learned to craft their words, create strong narratives & deliver powerful messaging 🙌🏽 Can’t wait to do it all again next semester! #HigherEducation #AdjunctLife

Canvas is out so I'm just staring up into the fluorescent lights at school A (where I have conferences with students about the assignment that they just turned in) and thinking about how I have to turn in midterm grades at school B. #adjunctlife

I made it through grading 79 exams and now I regret choosing to have four of them this semester.
Unfortunately, I am not paid by the number of graded exams.

My second job pays me once more but too late, then they skip a period till the next short term starts. My first job paid me a half-check cause of the pay schedule and the start of classes. This was after one week with a half-check for the end of summer. #AdjunctLife

TRUST YOUR TEACHING FACULTY’S INSTINCTS AND EXPERTISE, FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!! #AdjunctLife
Love that after one decade of creative writing and two of teaching college writing I finally teach a creative writing class, but it’s online, for five weeks, is designed to let students use AI, one assignment had them research submissions, and most mags ban AI manuscripts.

There's not enough space on my computer to download video software so every week we get to play a game of: will my lecture save to the cloud or will I have to re-record it??? #AdjunctLife #digitalhumanities

I left my keys at home but it doesn't really matter - the only impact is I can't get into my office and, fortunately, I can hold office hours this morning in the adjacent program center (for a an academic initiative I have no connection to #adjunctlife) because all its staff are WFH in the summer

Having one of those ‘losing your job REALLY sucks’ days while muttering to myself about updating my CV, rewriting my cover letter, and prepping for the 5 (!) classes I somehow agreed to adjunct this fall.

We ran out of time because I decided on the fly to walk my class over to my office because it is in an illogical location (due to #adjunctlife) and there is a enormous construction project blocking most of central campus (because the regents only care about physical disruptions when it is a protest)
Summer term is off to a great start after we didn't have time to do certain in-class activities on Friday and then I forgot (or didn't check) that the first homework assignment asked my students to reference those materials (among other work) so a few of them sent me concerned messages last night

Maybe I'd boost my employability if I accurately complied with the typical university HR requirement to enter individually into a webform every one-semester or one-year adjunct position I've had since 1993, redundantly duplicating info on the CV. But would it be worth it? #adjunctlife
