I am so eager to make my resignation from the college official.Today I wrote my letter of resignation. It is short, sweet, polite and lavishes an appropriate amount of praise on the college. I have no need to burn bridges, throw stones or take pot shots at the likes of Bully-VP, tempting as that is.
The bully will be glad to see me go, and I'll be glad to be out of his bow-tie-adorned cross-hairs. Good riddance.
I've been debating when to announce my resignation to my boss, the president the college. I was going to wait until mid-May and just give a month's notice. That way I wouldn't be pressured into getting projects done that are needed in the summer and fall. On the other hand, I'd like to help finance my whopping health insurance costs with adjunct teaching gigs beginning in the fall. Problem is, one of Bully VP's early acts of bullying was to have me banned from teaching at the college, presumably because it is a conflict of interest.
The ban will have to be lifted if I'm to have any hope of teaching. Whereas there are other places of higher learning in the greater East Jesus area where I might teach (I do not count Falwell's Liberty University among them), the community college offers the best probability of my snagging a teaching gig or two. This place practically runs on adjuncts.
In about three weeks, work will begin on the fall 2008 schedule. If I'm to teach, I'll need to get on the schedule. I guess that's the determining factor, and my resignation will have to be made official sooner rather than later.

Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure much thought and consideration will go into it. I get the feeling that you and Court rarely make rash decisions w/o looking at all the possibilities.
