why grading sucks: an essay

Friday was the end of the grading period, so grades are due at 8:30 tomorrow morning (or this morning, I guess). As he looks at the clock wearily. I really have to get used to this grading stuff. I've never done something that requires so much concentrated attention for so long. And I keep underestimating how long it will take me. Just finished my last few tests a little bit ago, then started finishing up the grades for the school's database.

When all of a sudden, wouldn't you know it . . . the database went out on me. Great. So I'll have to haul my butt up to school that much earlier to get everything entered into the system by 8:30.

Terrific. I love my job.

Couldn't I do the teaching part and somebody else do the grading part? No, I guess there wouldn't be too many people lining up for that job . . .

Anyway, off to slumbertown. Good night, Mom.
