wouldn’t there be less work that needs to be done meaning productivity is up?

This happened in December and my coworker still hates me for it so I just wanted to get people's opinions. I started my job off as an internship and now work part time as I'm a full time college student. I go to work Mondays and Tuesdays, and occasionally Wednesdays but only if needed as I have a class at 3. My coworker A joined around November and takes care of some of my daily tasks on the days I'm off. Before she joined, my coworker B would do them on my off days. In Decemeber, coworker A asked me if I could come in on a Wednesday to do the daily tasks as she had a doctor's appointment.

I would get these emails 2-3 times a week from the same two employees, and after begrudgingly telling the perpetrators…

I'm graduating in May with a Master's in German and I have experience doing a bunch of random stuff (video game translation, curating exhibits, teaching, advising) but I truly have no idea what jobs I should be applying for. It's not that I don't know what I want to do, I'm interested in everything I mentioned above, but I just have so little experience in each category. Other than teaching, I've only done those other activities for about a semester or so, so I'm not really qualified to apply to jobs in those fields. And even though I have three years of teaching experience, I don't have a teaching license and the district I live in will not look at your application if you don't have one (no chance for alternative licensure). I've really just been applying for administrative jobs (which is fine but I want to apply to more…
