The Site Pest is also, evidently, a split-personality. He doesn’t know from day-to-day whether he’s an earnest young undergrad working on his thesis or a fully fledged college professor. Didn’t I say there might be a personality disorder involved?
Well it’s time to take the ‘might’ out of my conjecture.

It is so much fun reading “fantasy-writer’s” fantasies and projections about yours truly!
You have projected and fantasized that I am “young” because I mentioned writing a thesis and most folks who write Master’s theses are indeed “young.”
But that’s not my situation. I am literally about 90 days from retirement after a 40 year career teaching counseling psychology. My college has a wonderful fringe benefit for retired tenured professors: we can draw full retirement benefits and in addition make one-third of our final base salary teaching three courses a year. It just so happens that I am a very close friend of the Chair of the Political Sciences Department and I have always wanted to teach a course that combines psychology with political science but in order to do that, I need an additional credential in that discipline, hence, even at my advanced age of 66, I am back in school and loving every minute of it.
I would be bored teaching the same old courses in retirement that I taught while working full time, so I am really looking forward to the challenge of designing a new interdisciplinary course in political science and psychology for the Fall, 2011 semester.
God, I wish I was an “earnest young undergrad!”
Oh, and the term “split personality” is antiquated. It’s “that stupid communist troll and site pest must have ‘multiple personality disorder,’” these days!
