I hit my deadline a little early (hence the burst of posts today) only to be reminded that the next two weeks is going to be just as bad as the previous ones. Contrary to the impressions of some, academics have to justify their existence and the annual self-evaluations have to be read, judged, and commented upon by their peers. And unfortunately, this year I am one of those peers. So, along with class preps, theses drafts and the normal stuff to take care of, I have to work my way through a bunch of my colleagues' self-evaluations and the evaluations that their students wrote of them. All to generate an evaluation within two weeks. *sigh*
