A Big Thirsty From Leona From Loveland.

I'm sure I'll long for this problem in 20 years, but right now, it's quite annoying. Apparently I look young. I look too young to be a professor. I'm out of my 20s, and I don't dress like a kid, and I have some grays and smile lines. But I guess I still look young.

Prospective students visiting my class ask where the professor is. I'm the dressed-up person setting up a Power Point presentation at the front of the room.
I checked some books out of the library, and the student worker looked at my faculty ID card (no photo) and asked if I was checking the books out for my mother. "Like, you teach here? Or your mom teaches here?"

I sat in on a colleague's class, and an undergraduate tried to hit on me. "Wow. I've never seen you in Dr. Feminist's class before." Probably because I'm usually teaching another class on the other side of campus during this time.

Q: Do I start dressing like an old lady? Do I wear suits? Do I get a gray wig? Or do I just accept it and enjoy it?

Baffled by Irregularity.

Has anyone ever tried making up a schedule for posting?

I'm a voracious column reader, online, papers, mags. I love knowing that my favorites are coming around, whether it be Time magazine or Deadspin.com.

Would there be anyone interested in committing to posting once a week or month or something.

RGM, would that be allowed?

Some Beach...

Hello to all of my fellow CM'rs! I send my greetings from the Administration Building of an empty campus in Podunk, Nowhere. For all you faculty types, I hope that you are enjoying your much deserved Spring Breaks. You have certainly earned it, and then some. I hope the beer is cold, the margaritas have little umbrellas, and that the sun and companionship is warm.

I'm a long time RYS and CM lurker. I even remembered to include in a crappy graphic!  I have seen stuff. I wouldn't recommend all of it. I've worn a lot of hats in my time. I was a snowflake, student assistant, gradflake, TA, adjunct, and now have turned to the dark side of the Force, and have returned to the ranks of full-time junior university administration. I assess stuff. You know, things. Yep I'm THAT person.  Which means that while you are hopefully on a warm beach, I'm here in my office overlooking an empty campus, dreaming of a cold beverage and warm sand. At least parking was a breeze today...

Cheers!
