It's just the brain drain... The people left, and there isn't anybody left. They seem to have gone out of their way to pick the people who aren't much into working, though, or maybe the ones they didn't hire would have been as bad at it...
All my life people tell me 'slow down and wait for everyone else to catch up'. It wouldn't be fair or whatever whatever whatever guilt trip whatever I must slow down and pretend I can't do things I can and so on and so forth. To make room for other people's kids. Other people's kids to be spirited out and up and away quickly quickly on the back of their private school education quickly before the other kids realise that they are seeing years of private school whip cracked over them investment and not any actual genuine *ability* whatsoever...
and now i'm how old? and i'm still supposed to sloooooooooooow dooooooooown. do you have any idea how long it takes an external examiner to check that i've managed to fix up a typographical error?
they keep insisting that 120 point paper should take a year and a half and a three year PhD actually should take 4 years. only, apparently, now, this doesn't even include grading time and so a PhD will take more like 5 years or even 6. and all the while you can do grading work... let's see... how many can you grade in an hour? i do belive it's something like 20 minutes for a 1,500 word undergrduate essay. that's what they pay you for -- but it always takes longer. at least, when you don't employ the 'throw them up the stairs and see how far they fly' assessment schedule...
i'm tired of people taking advantage of my better nature. basically... that's it. i see how much they earn. i see the work they do. i see how fast they work. they see the work i do and they tell me to slow down. they don't even want to give me a living wage. they would rather i be dumber and dumber and dumber and dumber so they can feel more justified about where it is that they are and what it is that they have got. and that is the difference between them and me. and i've f*ck*ng well had enough.
