Overworked Underpaid...

Just wanted to moan about the past 3 weeks of my life. 'Tis a sorry tale. The OU has been a misery. My students are very demanding and I have been especially stessed out. I just wanted to post about this to apologise for my foul mood of late, and also to set something straight: my job involves more than just boozing and inappropriate student-tutor relations. It is hard work. And when I scoff at people calling it the OC: there's a reason for that. Trust me, the students aren't glam. I hope none of them choose to read this. If they do: well done, I like you. You have shown research potential and a high level of IT knowledge. May I recommend that you apply this knowledge to the programmes of SPSS and E-Prime in future? I look forward to working with you.*

*Note how the "shit sandwich" style of constructive criticism has been internalised.

Don't worry, Ak, I won't beg for comments. This post is merely for my selfish needs of getting something of my chest.

Brighter posts to follow next week.
