Dear Prof. Carol,

You canna have my job--I like it too much, but if you're interested
take the Oregon State civil service exam, get on the office specialist
(aka: secretary) classification list, and sooner or later, you'll get a
call.   You " teach two five-hour classes a day"!?  Yikes!  How do 
keep your students' attention for so long?  I only tutor 6-7 hours
a week.   I also only work 40 hours a week--one of the perks of
being a Joe Lunchbucket, Bill Bologna, wage-slave type.   If you 
have some practical issues that you'd like to discuss--this list
does both theory and praxis.
