I am a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution. My spouse is a research professor and works two hours' drive away. This blog is primarily about life at a PUI, but also about our family trying to make the most of an uncomfortable lifestyle.
My chair is the second one I tell, since arranging loading and finding any necessary adjuncts is a long and difficult process. Two summers ago he and I tried our darndest to find someone to take the portion of my class that involves hazmat and it was nearly impossible.
I'm glad this was spelled out in the next post, because it took me more than a minute to figure out what that meant. So from the clueless person who has yet to deal with such issues...congrats!
And I see that I was not alone, so thanks to chall for making me feel less like an idiot.
Congrats! Very very exciting!
