It seems that this semester I have developed a series of superpowers......but they are not as appealing as they might initially appear.
1. Invisibility - This must be why people have started ignoring me, not listening to me, and pretending I don't exist.
2. Invincibility - This must be why people think it's ok to screw with things they have no business messing with.....because they think I'll just bounce right back from it.
3. Super-sensory hearing - It's amazing what I've heard this semester. I've heard good things and a lost of bad things......and most of it I just picked up as is drifted through my open office door.
4. No need to sleep - God forbid I should sleep! There's a dissertation to be finished, courses to be proposed, committees to be worked on, evaluations to be completed, book reviews to be written, textbook reviews to be administered, papers to be graded, and 80 million emails to be answered.
5. Unending focus - Clearly this is why I have 10 thousand things flying at me at all moments of the day. It's also why at any given moment I have between two and six different windows open on my computer, while I work on my email on my phone and talk on speaker phone at the same time.
I know, I'm a pretty big deal. You want to be me, right? Yup.....I didn't think so.
