Dear Economy:
Thank you for allowing me to work at an institution where people can come to retrain and get an affordable education during these difficult times. I feel like I’m making a difference.
That said, I understand that there will be a budget shortfall this year, and you will whack the crap out of our college’s budget.
If you could see your way clear to remembering that we need personnel and money to help out all these needy folks, I’d appreciate it. Because otherwise, you could be keeping me awake nights, and beating all of us Kirkwood people about the head and shoulders during the day.
Yours,
Dr. Catherine
Translation: Work was blindingly busy. From the moment I walked in until the moment I went to teach, I was talking to a student or a teacher. And I stayed late for a meeting. Just too much job.
So it seemed very natural that tonight’s writing was about hallucinations, rather than adolescent troll angst.
And yes, regardless of cost, I am leaving Kirkwood to write from 12-3 tomorrow, as I teach tomorrow night.
Head still spinning,
Catherine
I’m glad you guys are getting the extra business and not us.
Point well made. You totally score on that point.
