This just isn’t a good season for creating work for people. I am kinda amazed at the amount of just...junk people are generating after a year under extreme collective strain.
Even the nice extraneous stuff is just too much right now. We kinda need a moratorium on all personal mailings, gift exchanges, check-ins, round robins, etc.
And I don’t even know what to say to people soliciting things like class visits and subbing and what-not right now. The stuff we have to do to keep our jobs is one thing but nothing more.
Like, I think I have to send a thank you card now and I started crying.
I got seven class visit requests for this semester, this week alone. And it’s only Tuesday/Wednesday.
Class visits. For THIS semester. This week.
And frankly, picking the readings and making the discussion questions isn’t a “visit”.
