12 hours of grading???

Ok, I'm getting further and further behind on my posts here, aren't I?

Some small news....I've added a new blog feed. "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" from CNBC.

For the past 12 hours (working hours) I've been grading papers as a Graduate Assistant. Trust me when I say that the job is NOT glamourous. It only pays $9/hr and you're grading graduate level work that requires subject matter expertise. Kind of strange, isn't it? I'm used to billing at $150/hr. Oh well. It makes me feel good to grade papers and help these grad students learn the material a little better with my "insights". But seriously, $9/hr to grade Database Design ER Diagrams? Relational Modeling? Functional Dependency? really???? seriously....
