We live in interesting times, but not the ones I expected.
At some point last week, I'm pretty sure I crossed over into an alternate universe, a la E.C. Myers Fair Coin. In some other universe, Catherine became a dean because her hard work was rewarded by a higher salary. In yet another universe, she became a director because she never did conquer her workaholic tendencies, and/or didn't realize her self worth. In both of those universes, her writing takes a back seat to her other career. She squeaks out some time to write, but it's a struggle.
In the universe I find myself in, Catherine realizes that English Language Acquisition needs a full time administrator, but she's not going to do it, because the money to extra time ratio is not for her. She thinks, however, that she needs to find a way to make that happen for someone else.
