Severus Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sev's a lecturer. Take the teacher's tough lot and halve it. ...then quadruple the number of students you teach in each class, add to that the design and setting of the assessments, the research into each topic, the production of lecture materials, writing unit leader's reports and supervising final year and PhD students. In between which we have to fit in outreach programmes and then your research, which doesn't give you much time to write grant applications which means you get less funding, which means less time to do research so you get more teaching to do, ad infinitum. All for less pay than your peers who left uni after their degree. Fides invicta triumphat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Had an appointment with a solicitor today, regarding the will of a chap i knew who died recently. The solicitor informed me that, as i suspected, he'd left his estate to his sister in law in New Zealand. I was able to tell him her name and where she lives so he could look up the NZ white pages on line in order to contact her to tell her the news. As I was leaving his office, about midday, he said "after you've gone i'll find her number and phone her in a few minutes". I had to point out that phoning an 84 year old lady, even on such an important matter, might not be well received at around 1am local time. He looked a little flustered and then said he'd phone in the morning. Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress_Marlowe Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've decided to take up an invitation from a friend to join him and his wife on a tour of the whisky isles of Scotland next April when all the whisky festivals are on. My ungrateful whisky-hating wife wasn't too pleased for some reason. I don't blame her. As I too prefer bourbon to scotch I wouldn't be too happy either. ...then quadruple the number of students you teach in each class, add to that the design and setting of the assessments, the research into each topic, the production of lecture materials, writing unit leader's reports and supervising final year and PhD students.

All for less pay than your peers who left uni after their degree. Don't forget writing for publication, which is linked to research but is still a ball ache. *see how I stick up for you?

It's down right unreasonable how much she whines... she grumbles when I don't take her anywhere now she's grumbling because I have arranged something as a surprise for her. Wimmen...
