Nope, we don't get TAs at this school. We have a few TAs who are totally responsible for comp classes. So as a prof, I do all the lectures, all the meetings, committees, paperwork, etc. I like doing it, but I don't have any energy for a full lecture for two hours and then leading another class on Children's Lit. The furloughs mean I can't take any sick days without screwing up the syllabus for good. They've also increased the class sizes. On Monday, my poor students were stacked up like firewood, ran out of chairs, were leaning against walls. I gave up my chair and sat on the desk.
But I am going to call the doctor. This is ridiculous.
