It is. I agree 100%... some days, the only thing that gets me here is
that the students have paid for the class, and I have to give them
*something*. Nine more weeks, nine more weeks...
[and I lost my temper today... I was 2 minutes late to class and some guy
said, "Aw Darn!" when I showed up. He *got it* from me -- though I will
proudly say that I stayed focused on his behavior and what was not OK
about it rather than him as a person. I think the rest of the class was
kind of shocked...]

I have many things outside my job to help! Great boyfriend, lots of cool
geeky friends, a great living situation [except for thr commute], my pets,
IRC and so forth. I am still scared for the future, but I can't really
imagine wherever I go next will be any *worse* than this :)
