Fall Job: Adjunct

Things that make the existential condition known as Adjunct slightly less bad, wrong, exhausting, insecure, exploitive, convenient for the all the wrong people, necessary only in the most spurious sense, and so forth:

1. A Chair who's been there, hated that, wants you as happy as possible.
2. A commute option through the northern Ozarks. (yes, it's F A R from my home)
3. A spanking new building. See here. NB the Photo Gallery and Site Construction and similar. It's S W A N K.
4. A liberal arts / general education program that makes sense.

OK then. It's still adjunct teaching with all that implies and concludes, and it's still classes that require a nano-portion of my chop. But, these students will be brought to Achtung because there's a whole, consistent, thought out context into which they are walking. And, this, this people, is good-er.
