Morality Spin

[cathschaffstump]

Work has just become chaotic and disillusioning. The mistakes that make more work for me are less problematic than a couple of moral issues I’m grappling with. I’m trying to decide whether the issue is deeper than my stubbornness, but I can’t escape the feeling that someone is being allowed a special dispensation that is unfair to the other students. I think the college would just shrug at me if I brought this up though.

I don’t want my job to be morally ambiguous. It gnaws at my insides.

Well. Trying not to think about that, then, I’m off to my Russian lesson. Wiscon is a load of laundry and final packing away. I’m going to stopper my ears, go la-la-la about the student in question, and enjoy the company of friends and writers.

Oh, I know what you mean. I can put up with a lot, too, but if something hits my 'not right' button, it's much more difficult. And, yeah, try talking about it while someone's giving you fisheyes like what's der problem? and it's just stunning. What's *not* the problem?

I find consolation in the idea that these things do balance out. Maybe you won't see it or know how, but it does seem so.

Have a wonderful time at Wiscon, I've heard great things about it and would love to go, too.
