I ended up with a 15 or so, which means that I'm living "The Good Life." If my job was tenure-track, this would be true. But I am currently in my fourth year of contingency faculty status and in my second job. In my opinion, my lack of job security pretty much trumps everything else.<br /><br />Also, you should consider writing a question that addresses whether or not your current status within the academy keeps you in a long-distance relationship (ie, because of pay/location/lack of job security). As you are aware, this is a major factor for many faculty, especially adjuncts and visitors, and it is a major stressor.Brian Inoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597761046378693913.post-8409841039291398092011-09-19T17:04:33.197-07:002011-09-19T17:04:33.197-07:00@Chauncey: I might send it to College Misery, sin...@Chauncey: I might send it to College Misery, since it fits their ethos much better.
