Jack-Jack is adorable! His paws!
I feel a little guilty for not wanting students, but as a part-time person I feel like I can either do the show or teach the students, but I don't have time for both, so I do sort of a half assed job at two things rather than a good job at one. I have had wonderful, wonderful experiences, but I just don't have time to motivate those not already motivated.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sophia, if they want students to be able to learn this role, they need to hire and pay for someone to teach it. I'm pretty sure with your hours and pay that's not what you've committed to.
(I mean, I think they should, and it should be you if that's what you wanted. But they should be putting the resources behind it, not letting it all rest on your good nature and willingness to go the extra mile.)

ITA with Brenda. It's hard to say no, but ugh. To assume that you'll do the teaching along with your regular work load doesn't seem fair.
Have any of you seen Tim Wise's blog post about White Privilege? It's kinda brilliant.

I saw it on javachik's blog earlier tonight. It's absolutely stunning.

Thank you Kat and Brenda. I am just learning how to say no at this late age!
ETA: Also, I think it demeans what teachers do to think that having students to teach is no real extra work!
Wow... that white privilege article is great.

Kitten is using all litterboxes. Which, yay! I don't need to find a place for a third. And I already scoop once a day. Except I don't know how the grownups will react. Please no accidents.
Yes, I have no life. Would you rather me bitch about my work disaster as I have been?
