Shittily paid teaching positions are starting to bother me this year.

I work so many hours, and I'm starting to treat the students like time obligations, rather than people.

I've noticed I'll slot aside 15 minutes for paper meetings (= my job), but a lot of times I duck out from otherwise discussing ideas (= not my job) like some of them want to, since I'm often so tired and have worked a ten hour day and I've just had oodles of paper meetings and I'm just pooped.

What a sad situation.  They deserve better, but the set-up of my job militates against good outcomes.
