So, my teaching assistantship ran out after last semester. Every other person that lost their assistantship during the last several semesters was automatically hired as a part-time instructor. Apparently, though, they just made new regulations that require every person to submit an application before being officially hired. Guess what? They forgot to tell me that. I never made an application, so now, my job is at risk. I have to go talk to my advisor (also the guy who makes the teaching assignments). I could scream! It would have been nice to have a little warning, you know?

Laurend, I do not blame you for being upset. I hope things work out for you. Let me know.

I'm so sorry, that really sucks mud. I hope they make an exception since you weren't told and change that for you. Sending you a big hug that everything works out for you.

Hugs,

Sherri Jo

Well, I went and talked to my advisor this afternoon, and I'm going to be teaching at our other campus from 9-4 on Fridays. I get to teach a lecture and two labs, plus get extra pay for being off-campus. I'll also get reimbursed for mileage. So it all worked out, but I'm still ticked off about not being told until the week before classes start.
