Yesterday, I forgot to put on deodorant before I went to work. I should have taken that as a sign that the day was truly going to suck. I was stood up by a student, learned that *another* adjunct quit (so now I have to find someone to cover three classes in the fall), and went [...]

I am righteous in my anger this morning. You see, The Coach and I made the cardinal mistake of going to the Golden Trough Corral for brunch. I know, I know. Everytime we go there, we run into the dregs of Sorta’ Cosmopolitan society. Mullets everywhere, you know? Well, this morning, we pulled up into [...]

THE GOOD:
1 week down, four to go. I just hope I survive teaching two summer classes. The money’s good, but it’s been really demanding. {This explains the dearth of blog postings}
The intro class rocks! For some reason, they always go better in the summer. Smarter students? More motivated students? Who cares — as long as [...]

Well, my summer of semi-leisure has come screeching to a halt. My two summer classes begin tomorrow and they are both packed to the gills — well, compared to other summers, I taught, that is. Today, I am trapped in my office from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., doing student advising. I might as well [...]
Disarray

Well, Chez Disenchanted is about to be in disarray. You see, The Coach’s mother offered us an antique dining room table, so he rented a van (long story about the clusterfuck at Enterprise has been omitted) and drove to her house. I was going to go along — really I was — but was afraid [...]

I just came across the most hysterical story on CNN:
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) — A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush’s years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot. The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. [...]
