Yesterday when I got back from the thrift store with my motley purchases, there was a call on the machine from the local community college. I was asked, in the dismissive way that adjunct faculty customarily is, to teach (at this late date) a course this semester. I'd stopped teaching there a few years ago because I felt the way the administration treated the adjunct faculty was just too insulting to take. On one hand, I was overwhelmed by the demands of the students, and on the other, treated like a non-person by the administration. I have been creeping through grad school part-time--since I teach primarily art subjects, I have been able to get away with a BFA. I will probably take the job, I enjoy being in the classroom but I wish I was in a more humane teaching situation (or is that an oxymoron?)
