After Tuesday's great class, I had a pretty good series on Wednesday, as well. The students seem to be engaging pretty well. I keep forgetting how many of them (at the CCs) are actually still in high school; I guess that's good, since I don't treat them any differently and that keeps the bar high. Wednesday is the "long" day; I noticed that it's still mostly light when I start my 7:00 pm class, and that's pretty cool. Today's teaching went just fine, too; I can't complain about that.
I got a phone message today from Cascadia confirming some details about my interview next week. Of course, the tone and content of the message completely ignored that I have been teaching there for the past three years and addressed me as if I would be coming to the campus for the first time. Institutions are quick to say how much they value their adjunct faculty; it seems that those feelings of respect are honored more in the breach than the observance.
On the subject of jobs, I have applications for three administrative jobs to complete this weekend. There's a time to turn mother's picture to the wall and get out, and I think it might be a-comin'.
In regular life, Otis and I went grocery shopping today; while we were checking out, the checker sang for us the entire opening theme from the Super-Chicken cartoon show. Even I couldn't do that.
Speaking of Otis, didja see that she was selected for a juried art show? How cool is that?
Scotty has some really cool stuff on his blog; apparently he's in Denver - so what else is new?
Speaking of places that are not Seattle, I'm going to Vegas next month! Five old high school buddies (me being one), who are all turning fifty this year, are going to meet for a weekend in Sin City. (Can you guess at which casino? Of course.) I am sure hijinx will ensue; I'll let you know.
And finally, shall we help Mr. Kucinich out?

I have yet to visit Vegas as an adult. Something that will must be remedied upon my return.
