My contract with the University of Texas at Arlington runs from 1 September to 31 May. Today I complete my 29th year at UTA. I taught for one year (1988-1989) at Texas A&M University before coming to UTA, so I've been a professor for 30 years. Who knows? I could go another 10. I enjoy teaching; I enjoy researching and writing scholarly essays; and, while I don't like committee meetings, there aren't enough of them to oppress me. In short, I like my job.
