I feel that one in my soul, as a fellow part time academic with good teaching evals. Our hiring system sucks and people less qualified get in for no good reason, typically.

My cope is knowing I still would be devaluing my time with that role and that my free time not having to do a full course load (+ attend faculty meetings, advise students, etc) is still valuable, to my family and to myself. I'm still bitter about the jobs I don't get, but my partner got promoted in large part because I could support them so I guess that's the way things panned out.
