DU vibes, please

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 know your pain so, so well!

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!!!!!!

SHE GOT IT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !


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!
