Professor what?
I received an email this afternoon informing me that I should get on top of requesting materials for my course this fall. Instead of taking the “Professor Director” bit as just part of their auto-emailing, I’m electing to view it as them just thinking I’m really that awesome.
That, or foreshadowing. Either of which is fine by me.
Now that I’ve actually got students enrolled in my class, I can’t help wondering if they’ve tried Googling me; lord knows I’ve done that for every professor I’ve had in the past few years. But I’m only listed in the catalouge as “Director, SR”. How are they ever going to find me by searching that?
I should probably say hello to any students who have managed to get here before the semester starts. Hello, students. Thanks for taking my 8am course - I know you’d probably rather be sleeping in, but I want you to know that you’re welcome to bring your pop tarts to class or wear pajama pants. As long as you wear some manner of pants, really. Or shorts. Or even skirts.
But please, no skorts. No skorts in WMNST 102.

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
I still stand by the fact that Professor Director is the coolest name EVER. I would absolutely take your class just because of your name.
You’ve got me thinking maybe I should go into teaching college or something. But my name wouldn’t be as cool and would get misspelled more often.
ok… gotta ask.
what’s wrong with skorts?
Ok, yes, while Professor Director is one of the coolest names ever, it kind of screws you over in the googling. I tried to google you, using increasing specifics until I put in “WMNST 102 Professor Director” and I got this… now I have an overwhelming urge to put in every conceivable variation of a search so they can find you.
Well, you made it easier for them to find you, anyway.
I would be Professor Hennessy. My last name rules on its own. But, for druken college students, I automatically have street cred.
Professor Shade here. And I’m really a professor (sort of–official title is “Instructor”. Ugh.)
In practice, I guess there’s nothing wrong with skorts. It’s more a philosophical objection. I dislike the word, mainly. And also it reminds me of the early nineties. Tragic.
