But until they do, I'll continue responding with "Does this apply to adjuncts?" and make them take the time to acknowledge our existence.

HR mass e-mails should probably distinguish between faculty who get benefits vs. exploited adjuncts who just get bitter.

Using scare quotes for all the required wording and sections. My rebellion may be too subtle....

Along with my new contract, Uni sent me a two-page document with instructions for how to write my syllabus.

Pretty sure I could give my students a run for their money if we held a Procrastination-Off. Less certain who benefits from such action.

Hey, student who skipped class today knowing full well that it was 10% of your grade, WTF? I want you to succeed but you've got to show up.

That "whooshing" sound you just heard was me sighing in relief that I am CAUGHT UP WITH GRADING. For a few hours, anyway.

My steely resolve to stay up all night grading until I finish this set of papers has just met my iron-clad sleep cycle. Fisticuffs ensue.

Headed off female student's burgeoning hatred of me by bonding with her over TOMS shoes.

Reminding myself that it's natural for student's first reaction to ideas to be knee-jerk. That comes before thoughtful contemplation. Right?

Sainthood must be a prerequisite for English department secretaries. Talk about herding cats....

Funny how one jackass student can haunt my thoughts more than 25 hardworking, engaged ones. Probably says more about me than him.

Oh, student with your popped A&F collar and inflated sense of entitlement, your are as unique as the snowflakes melting outside my window.

#Adjunct colleague is teaching full-time and has been for almost 3 years; no benefits, no perks, no raises, shared office, crappy schedule.

Student to me in class today: "You love your job, don't you." Yes. Yes, I do. I may grouse about adjunct stuff, but I love teaching writing.

Further evidence that #adjunct teachers are low priorities: don't yet have phone, won't be given a computer, and no name on office door.

Managed to get a faculty ID card without ID/papers, but campus cop ticketed my car for not yet having a parking pass. #securitypriorities

@TrueAdjunctTale Wow. You're making almost $100 more per credit hour than I am. Aren't you just the 1% of adjuncts. ;)

Oh, forgot to mention: My "office" is literally a converted storage closet. That I share. With student workers. #ethos
