Adult or a Dult?

Share
We're far enough into the semester that it's time again to remind the instructors about their duties. Some of the adjuncts misapprehend their responsibilities as teachers and leave a lot of things to me that don't need to be done if they did their job. As usual, I have to sort through the biohazard and remove the paper towels and wrappers that are not really biohazards and remove paper from the sharps containers. Although these containers are clearly marked, apparently nobody takes the time to read.

Some people look like adults. Some people act like adults. Some people are children in adult bodies. Are you an adult or a dolt?

I watch students and teachers read signs and then still do the wrong things. I know plenty of people who are of age who have not matured. Although the legislature has declared the age of 18 to be 'adult', very few people that age in this day and age can be construed to be adults.
