I almost got bitten by the TA bug today. It seems that one of the TAs for Greco-Roman Myth has disappeared, and a new one is needed. Unfortunately for me, I'm currently taking that class, so I cannot also TA it. It seems that I otherwise could have been a paid employee of the university. In retrospect, I don't really have a lot of spare time these days, with six classes, a wife, a mistress, and seventeen children. That's right, seventeen. That's too big a number for me to have randomly made up just now. At any rate I expect to get a similar position either this summer or next school year. Apparently it's not that difficult.
