Things you can do as a lecturer.

The list is random, in no particular order.

  • Take multiple naps between lecturers (I know some lecturers do during the classes too but I assure you I am not one of them.)
  • Whenever there is a books, technology, educational exhibitions/seminars etc you have a good excuse to cancel the classes and attend exhibitions/seminars, since they upgrade you. (or give you a chance to go away, have good food somewhere, enjoy the day off, and in evening just report back how hectic the day was)
  • If you don’t have a class you can leave the office, go for shopping, or even a movie. And if (Just in case) – your boss calls you and asks where you are, you can always tell him busy doing some research for next semester’s course you will be teaching.
  • You can always Bu!!$hi* around as if you are a big intellectual and know every little detail of things you have never even heard of, and people will believe you. (or at-least pretend they did)
  • You get a good sense of being respected and self satisfaction that you are molding young minds, doing something good for the community. (or completely opposite one, that you are ruining them)
  • You can play Facebook, Tagged, Friendster etc and call it online research about social science and computing.
  • When you are bored to death and feeling drowsy you can write a completely idiotic blog post (like this one) and post it on your blog.
  • Last but not the least, after posting it, you can keep clicking the refresh button to check if there are any comments.

Okay, I gotta go now, I have a class in few minutes, but I will be back to check if there are some comments.

PS: This post was posted during the height of boredom and drowsiness.
