wow. what a great advertisement for taking a position at less demanding institution.
People in my department-- particularly the assistants-- are ALWAYS working. If it's not "publish or perish" it's academic service or community engagement. We DREAM about having the time to be engaged TEACHERS (ostensibly the job we were hired to do).
I can't imagine having the time to scrapbook or take a guilt-free day trip anywhere... even during the summer months. I don't think that I am in the minority in my department. We, the workhorses, number far more than a "handful."
