1. Emails from students with the one-word subject line, "Help."
...
That's about it.
In other news, I'm off to visit family for a week. I know--I promised some kind of substantive post a while back, and have yet to deliver. It's possible that I'll blog from the vacation, but not necessarily likely, so it may be that you hear from me again in a week or so.
Have fun! (And I just can't bring myself to open the email right now. I'm off contract, people!)

Oh God. I have students from way back still haunting me -- from schools that I don't even teach at any more. "Please, please write me a letter of recommendation!" Argh. I am already sick of that. And why the hell would they ask an adjunct for a letter anyway? Like my opinion counts!
I just got another request for a letter (fourth request in 2010) from a former student at a school I don't teach at anymore. Very irritating. But I did it anyway.
Good luck with your email. It probably isn't as simple as singing someone's praises.
LMAO! I don't want to see those anymore either!
Have a great trip. :)
