adra has returned! she says she has no more vacation or sick leave left and is still toting kyle around. :( i read a part in jenn's play for her playwriting class and it turned out the next person had lost a reader, so i read for that play, too. it was fun.

reviewed my performance evaluation today. i am "commendable," which is an improvement over last year's "satisfactory," though i worked & cared less. hmmm. i still feel badly about last year's performance eval because i felt like i was being punished for an impossible situation (required to be both cst and i.d. full time). but still, i've always been an "outstanding" or an "exceptional'"and this is a stituation i'm still getting used to. i sort of wish we could do 360-degree evaluations; i might feel better if i could place my evaulation in the context of others: for instance, if i knew chuck & jay got outstandings, but other coworkers on my "level" got commendables, then it would feel fairer -- chuck & jay do -way- more work than i do, and difficult team dynamic work that i wouldn't want to deal with. :P i can't believe i've been here almost 3 years!

i finally wrote a quick note to nancy bowers because i just couldn't let it lay around forever, though i fear i may have let it lay too long. i said,

"i haven't been able to write a response which effectively justifies my desire to work for psu even though i have neither a doctorate or a master's degree. :) i can do everything the position would ask for (and more!), though i say this without knowing much about the psu e-learning situation (number of courses and/or instructors, optimism level, etc.). is there any hope? :)"

she responded,

"I am sure you could step right in and fill my shoes...but...they decided to first try to fill the position from within the university. We've identified a small number of fixed term and adjunct faculty that will be contacted to see if they are interested. If the position can't be filled from within, then it will be advertised externally. I'll let you know if and when that happens!"
