As many of you know, my wife, the lovely Melodie, and I are college adjuncts. Because of my eyesight and other health issues, I teach mostly online for one college. Melodie, on the other hand, does the adjunct shuffle and has taught as many as 9 classes for 3 different colleges, which is just a little over maximum on the stressful level.
Today she had an interview for a full time position at one of the colleges she teaches for. It went really well.
Should have an answer by Thursday - Friday at the latest.

I have been an adjunct for the last 8 years and it is the hardest work for the lowest pay in the "white collar" world.
It is downright criminal, what is done to adjuncts.
I want her to get this job so very much!!
Please let us know as soon as you know!!!!!!

The pay is slightly more than all the other stuff together, plus there are benefit AND it is a regular check each month that doesn't fluctuate unexpectedly because this college screwed up the paperwork, or that college cancelled a class at the last minute
HAPPY, HAPPY!
