    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    By this point in the academic year, I'm too exhausted to do anything beyond what is absolutely required. Unfortunately, that attitude can take a toll on my housekeeping. I'm usually a neat person. I put dirty clothes in the laundry basket, I wash dis

    we don't teach like this, do we?

    Having been to two conferences and one forum this semester, I have been to probably 25 presentations in the last few months. In this time, I’ve seen one of the worst presentations I’ve ever had to sit through, seen some excellent ones, an

    Yeah, yeah, I’ve been a negligent blogger the last couple of weeks. It’s been a grim few weeks, with a colleague passing away, faculty morale at a new all-time low, etc. I’m trying to snap out of my funk. Blog entries coming soon:

    Friday, 7 April 2006 11:12 A GMT-07
    We have a joke at home: whenever T or I inadvertently perform a “stupid parenting trick,” like not paying attention while Lily wolfs down a bunch of candy right before dinner, one of us will say to the other, “You’re up for Pa

    Tuesday, 4 April 2006 4:14 P GMT-07
    I'm obviously in major procrastination-mode to spend an hour or so writing a list of 100 things about me three years after everyone else wrote their lists. I am a terrible chocolate snob. I like only very dark, very good chocolate.
