And the Fun Just Keeps Piling Up...

So, today at around 3pm I was asked to teach ANOTHER section of English 102 (which meets on Monday afternoon) because the department lost one of its TAs, so I graciously stepped in to help. This means my already jam packed schedule is becoming more so...

AND...

There was an English Department get-together this evening and one of my previous professors, who is now in charge of all the distance learning (AKA online classes) for the entire university talked about how he has three people working on reading homework assignments and stuff for him. He then told me that if he needs another person he wants ME to come work for him. Of course I said I would be interested, but I really need to learn to say no. Sure, it's more money coming in and it's always gratifying to be specifically wanted based on my past performance of both my work and skills, but I think I keep shooting myself in the foot. If that's my goal, my aim is pretty good; if not, I need to site my scopes!
