Let's face it: we think we will do grading in our rooms - until the big bed, the movies on tv, and/or the loveliness of being able to take a really long, really hot shower overwhelm us.
At least at a smoker one might feel required to [appear to] be at work.
That last post got me thinking: how long does it take for you jerks to hand back graded work? I teach at an undergrad institution in the quarter system with no TA's and I hate grading. I always hand graded work back the next class meeting after it was due. It makes my life better.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

I wish I were there!
My plan: grade papers at the smoker!
11:12: what? at a table? why not in your room?

I'd never grade at the APA! It would ruin my trip and luxury of a bed to myself. But why at the smoker? It is a reception! A social event???

2:@3-- smoking only in designated areas, please...
As Prior said--Thank Goodness That's Over.
You know I never saw the irony in the author/title until I just wrote that.
