Grading papers

I love my job as an English professor. What could be more fun than reading good books, poems, plays, and then talking about them with interested students--or at least students from which one is working hard to elicit interest? I walk into those classrooms every day with anticipation and am often rewarded by a good discussion, perceptive questions, and pleasantly surprising answers.
Then there are the papers to grade. Exams are no big deal and don't take too much time. But the papers.........arghh! Wrting this whine is merely putting off the inevitable. Back to work, Pidge.
