“Handling a diverse caseload of 60+ students is like…”

“…juggling a knife, an axe, and a chainsaw.”

 “…trying to nail Jello to a tree.”

“…trying to herd cats.”

“…trying to make a perfect stew with too many ingredients.”

 “…wearing ten hats on one head.”

 “…trying to plan 3 weddings for the same day in which the brides each want different florists, different caterers and the same minister.”

 “…walking a tightrope over an open elevator pit with a feather in one hand and an elephant in the other.”

“…trying to tie a knot in a river.”

“….trying to put bees in a bag.”

“…trying to spread democracy in the mid-east.”

“…trying to swim upstream with your hands and feet tied.”

“…trying to breastfeed triplets.”

 “…(with apologies to my grandmother) it’s like being a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest!”

“…like going UP a DOWN escalator on roller skates.”

 “…like trying to bail out a leaking boat with a teaspoon.”

“…treading on a rolling log while going downstream.”
