Hi all,
Well, readers of this blog know that my job is I'm an adjunct professor at a technical school. Earlier this term when the planning info came out my boss told me I'd have TWO classes -- database on Thursday nights and networking on Saturday mornings. Both classes have been massively updated with new curriculum from corporate, so I'd have to put a lot of work in -- but not having a third class I figured I could swing it if I worked really hard. AND I need at least two classes just to pay my bills (never mind like saving or anything). Well, last week I went in and discovered I was dropped from the database class and instead of working WITH another instructor, and one with a lot of hardware experience for networking, now I'm expected to do everything myself. I'm less than happy with the decision and I really need to seriously look for another job. Yes, another teaching job, because I like teaching -- and even an adult education based (non-traditional) student might be Ok, but something, either to add to what I'm doing now, or if I could find it something full time, esp. if I could get benefits - that would help alot. Sorry to be so whiny, I'm just pretty upset.
