Welcome to juniorprof

Seven ways to figure out whether you're a junior prof:

1. You spend a lot of time avoiding committee meetings
2. You've hidden from a student by diving under the desk
3. Achieving a personal life is on your list of things To Do
4. You still haven't given up on the idea of Free Food
5. Your real expertise lies in exploring the local happy hour scene
6. You're always working on your "Book"
7. You spend more than 8 hours a day contemplating alternate career plans

What Not To Do: Prof caught doing work for other class in class...

I had this brilliant idea. Use group work time in one class to tackle that HUGE stack of papers that was supposed to be done yesterday. I read four lines of one essay. Three students, in about as many seconds, inquired into what I was doing. I think they feared I was grading their papers, but I can't quite shake the look of surprise when they discovered they were papers from another class...

Sigh. So much for multi-tasking.
