Fraud, I hope you can use some of that energy -- I could, too!
TTN, I don't know if this is normal or not. All I know is that it's never felt this bad before. At this point, I'm feeling like Anonymous made the best choice (and I hope s/he is feeling like that too!).
Good luck getting your terms wrapped up!

[academicsecret] New comment on At long last!.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "At long last!":
For the last three years I have taught at an Australian University. Last semester, I had five post-graduate courses to teach - all the lectures and tutorials, all the marking of assignments and final exams. I was also supervising two Masters student's dissertations and co-supervising two PhD students.
I like teaching, but I can't do this amount of work and do it well.
So at the end of last semester, I resigned. And it was a tenured academic position.

Still got two weeks to go over here, but I am already feeling similarly giddy. Everyone gets the sense that they can never return to this chaotic world of the academic rollercoaster by the end of the semester, and I hope it's not just you and me and fraud.

All I can say is AMEN!
I can't wait until my own semester's over, and my own glorious summer begins. After reading your post I've been nourished with some of your energy to get me through in the meantime.

[academicsecret] New comment on An indicator of trouble in academitopia.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "An indicator of trouble in academitopia":
I've always loved filling out forms, so taxes, job applications, and the like really, really appeal to me. Well, I should say that they once appealed to me. This year, as a struggling assistant professor, I despise forms and find them a huge waste of time. I even filled out one dependent care sheet and copied it 11 times so I wouldn't have to keep filling out that same three lines every month. So, with my new-found hatred of forms, I filed all my taxes, even the two state taxes, online, and let some electronic program have all the filling out form fun!

there should totally be a ratemystudent.com, so we can exchange information on kids and say things like, "he always comes to class late", "she says she reads the book, but doesn't seem prepared,", "if this kid gets on your waiting list, don't let them in!".

[academicsecret] New comment on Time Flies....
Turquoise Stuff has left a new comment on your post "Time Flies...":
Fraud, sorry to hear this. I think taking at least one day off is a must! Alternatively, yeah, don't write it on your calendar, although I'd go with the taking-time-off approach.
As for the summer, I remember looking forward to it so, only to have several grad students give me various documents just as it started. Ugh.

Fraud, I am *really* sorry to hear this, it sounds very very annoying and upsetting. Unfortunately, without more details, it's hard to say much more, but I did want to say that you certainly have my sympathies.

Chartreuse, I know how hard it is to let a bad review go. The following research paper on RMP helped me put it all in perspective.

You might as well be me. I might as well be you. I am dealing with this very situation this quarter with one of my male students. I feel totally powerless. Ironic, isn't it, since I am the teacher and he is the student!
I stumbled upon this blog looking for answers. My student is so shrewd and I feel like any conversation with him is a lose-lose. Fraud's suggestion seems like the best course of action for me. In the end, I don't want to alienate him; I want him to learn something (a modicum of common courtesy, perhaps?). I hope my cretin turns himself around the way yours did!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a book/article on strategies for female instructors to effectively deal with conflict in the classroom?
