Curious....

So each term one of the first things I have to do - and consequently one of the things I put off the longest - is the filling out of administrative forms. For example, I have to fill out a form telling the Dean's office what courses I'm teaching, how many credit hours each counts for, and how many students are in each course. It is all, somehow, tied to payroll.

I put it off because, it seems to me, the Dean's office should have the ability to look this up for themselves. But now I wonder: what if they don't? The possibilities get quite amusing, really.

• What would happen if I gave myself credit for every course the department has as an overload?
  
• What would happen if I claimed more students than really are in the course?

Maybe I've figured out how to deal with that pesky student loan problem after all.
