How much time do I spend in front a computer? Waaaaay too much. Between blogging and my so-called part-time academic job, I’m always here.

My fun loving neighbors get home at 5:30 and start drinking beers on their back porch. They call me over for a while, but I end up back here after a short break. My kids make me play board games with them, but then I end up back here.

Ingrid wonders why part-time academics bother with the part-time employment, since there’s nothing part time about research. Well, getting out of committee work certainly is a good thing, and so is the flexibility.

Dan notes the parallels to blogging. So, academic bloggers really have no lives.

I think grad school screwed me up. I long ago disassociated work with money. I’m still surprised that my college sends me a check every two weeks.
