Stealing Work
I found out today that the reason I haven't been getting students asking for help is because there is a designated tutor for an hour or two in the Great Hall 5 days a week. While this is very useful for the freshmen, it means that the two things that let me get to 10 hours a week with my TA job are now gone, and I only have the 5 hours of normally scheduled activity: office hours, class, lab, and 1 hour Sunday study session (which overlaps a tutor, by the way). This is, of course, after my grading responsibilities were taken as well, which I only let slide because I could make it up with extra help. Now, they have two TAs, who are each paid for 3 hours of unuesd office hours a week, who grade different things, but the one who grades things that "take too long for an undergraduate" and actually have an impact on their grades is the one who is unreachable to students. Hooray.

I have no idea what you just wrote. It all looked like a lot of gibberish to me. A lot of 'Wha, wha, wha - i'm a big baby' - cry me a river.
Andrew could be right! Or, he could offer a more helpful solution, like killing off the other TA! But I can't encourage that for legal reasons.
