I need to turn down some work
November 20th, 2011And it feels so unnatural.
I was only going to have part-time next term, so I was actively seeking another class or two for January. In the past couple of weeks I’ve been approached for 2 with the dept at the college I’m currently teaching in, been signed onto contract for +1 (2 already signed) with the Uni dept I’m teaching for this term, asked to apply for 1 with a different Uni dept, and was confirmed a contract for 1 (maybe two) with a second college dept.
So I’ve got classes at both the uni and the college, and I need to tell other Uni/College I am no longer putting myself forward for their classes.
It just feel strange when so many are out of work, and when we sometimes have terms with only part-time work. But I want to teach my classes well — so can you all call me on this in a week?
kthanks.
