I don't live very close to campus. So my work started my work day, if you're looking for like a time that I started out, but that varies, I'm about a 5050 minute commute from campus. If the weather's bad or traffic's bad, or there's an accident on one of the major highways, it takes a little longer so, but it also, you know, I have two young children, so I get them off to school, and then I had to work. So I'd say My day starts around nine o'clock, on average. And usually, depending on what's going on, on that particular day, I always like to sort of make myself available to the students while they're in laboratorial. You know, I'd like to kind of check in and just see how things are going. And I'm chatting with the teaching assistant just to see if everything's running smoothly. And not really checking up on the teaching assistant, like not at all. And I tell them that I say, you know, if you see me pop in, it's, it's just something that I've always done over the years. And a lot of the times when students see me come in, they'll kind of like me, say, Hey, can I ask you a question are are such an email yesterday, and I know you're really busy. So I'd rather ask you now in person, because your email Wait, email reply might be a couple of maybe delayed a couple of days, right? So I like to sort of check in on what's going on at the time when I arrive. After that it's oddly a very complex job, like from behind the scenes, and students don't really realise it could be pleading emails on student correspondence and making sure they get answers to their questions. That's a good good chunk of my day. Certainly, when we're on campus, My office is like a through a, I have office hours, you know, generally every day, I would dedicate like an hour, it's usually around lunchtime, the lunch hour. And that was sort of my dedicated office hour time if I was available, or if I didn't have a meeting, or it wasn't like a committee meeting or something like that. But I had always told students, you know, if you're passing by and you can't come to your office, or just stop by and if my doors open when stores open, just come in. So when we're on campus, My office is often populated with students dropping by to ask questions and things like that. So that's a lot of my a lot of my day. And that's great, because that's, as I said, that's kind of the university for a lot of ways. And then you know, scrambling sometimes to get things ready for the upcoming week, such as you know, the labs and the assignments and evaluations and getting student grades ready and getting tests marked. And organising the teaching assistants is a huge part of the job. I've tried to schedule things so that there's at least one day of the week that there aren't labs and tutorials running. And that's generally turns out to be a Monday if I can, and Mondays are at the start of the week. And sometimes I think people want to start off the week, maybe a little bit more a little bit slower than the other days, Mondays are my busiest day because I will schedule all my teaching assistant meetings that week to get the TA is ready for the upcoming week, whatever is coming up. So and sometimes it's multiple meetings per day, depending on the courses that are schedules, there was one year where it's 68 meetings in a day. So that was six hours out of my day on Monday that was gone. So lunch, I try to catch lunch, when I can, I wouldn't say there's a dedicated time, each day that I eat my lunch, I don't sit down at 1130 or 12 o'clock. I do it's it's just because I can sneak in that sometimes it's later in the afternoon. Sometimes it's I there was a time I can remember I remember when I was still the first year coordinator, I realised after a little bit of reflection that it had been three weeks since I take a lunch break. And you know, it's really just kind of grabbing a bite to eat in my office quickly as I'm working as opposed to like a dedicated time. So it's it's pretty busy. And you know, there was a time a few years ago, again, when I was a first year coordinator. And I remember hearing from people like from my colleagues, they were kind of joking around that they're going to send out a search party to come look for me because because they hadn't seen me in like six weeks, because I am in a separate building from most of them where they work within the Department of Biology. So I was in the science building. And most of the biology related things happen in the life sciences building. So they hadn't seen me in so long because I hadn't, you know, building the other building for any reason. And the joke was that they're gonna have to send a daily search party looking for me to make sure that I was okay. And so it gets a little bit crazy. And then the end of each day is kind of turns into a bit of a scramble to make sure that everything is ready for the following day. So my days are variable, some days, you know, I'm on campus till 5pm 6pm 7pm 8pm It just really depends on how much I have to do that day and what I know I need to get done to ensure that things are going to run smoothly for the next day for the teaching assistants and the students and the courses in general. I always kind of jumped around saying you need to get these things done so that the train stays on the tracks for the following day. And because of the train falls off the tracks in these big courses, it's it's kind of tough sometimes to train back on the tracks, Things Fall Apart very quickly. Yeah,
