The New Job 6/12/20
it should dovetail with my adjunct faculty position. This means multiple income streams, but two part-time jobs do not equal a full-time job
Gross 6/11/20
I’m hoping that by writing this, I’m shedding light on a sad condition, and maybe it’ll help somebody to feel a little bit better about their struggles knowing that they really are not alone.
Liability 6/10/20
There are striking similarities. In both groups, with few exceptions, they’ve entered their respective fields out of a desire for service. In both, the vast majority of them are good people of high moral fiber. In both, there are exceptions.

I know I can do better. I’m still learning, but I’m hoping they are as well.
Reboot 6/4/20
like the adjunct position, it is a “long-term” part-time temporary position. That means low pay (but probably more than I’m making teaching), and no benefits. Of course. And I’ve been in a position in the past where I’ve worked two part-time jobs, and the reality is that two part-time jobs do not equal one full-time job.
