Spring Break Blogging
As a hared working academic meathead, I deserve a vacation. I mean, they make me teach several classes each semester, force me to sit in my office for at least ten hours a week waiting for that elusive student to walk in, and then at least twice a month sit on committees deciding the fate of the world.
All this adds up to at least 20 hours a week working, which exceeds the legal maximum in France by at least twice!
Needless to say, I deserve a vacation.
Unfortunately, even with the addition of all this crazy blog money I'm only bringing home about a buck-fiddy a day. Which means I'm on vacation but my plans to spend spring break in Tahiti have been thwarted once again.
In lieu of Tahiti I'm going to grab me a six pack and head down to the river to try my luck at being mosquito bait. Who knows, a fish might accidentally jump in the boat. That would be sweet.
And if I slip on a rock and break my back, no biggie since I'm assured that from now on health care will be plentiful and cheap.
So, technically I'm here but I'm going to avoid you guys like the plague. I might drop in from time to time this week and post here and there, but don't bet on it. Let's admit it, would you hang out with you if you had a choice?
Email me if you want to know how the fishing is going, other than that let me make my exit stage left by paraphrasing Cartman -- screw you guys, I'm going fishing!
