Rough Start



It has just been a rough few days here. There is a helluva lot of administration b*llsh*t going on that I and others of the Department have been dealing with. It is frustrating and tiring to have to do this kind of crap instead of what my job is really supposed to be:

1. Teaching students and teaching well.

2. Researching and discovering new knowledge.

3. Being of service to my community.

Having to be embroiled in inane and useless b*llsh*t just saps the energy out of me and makes it 100x harder to do the above three things which *are* truly enjoyable... and are what my job as a professor is supposed to be about.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
