Surviving Work
(rules as they come to me)
- If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
- 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.
- Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

more random thoughts

Today would have been completely average if not for two wonderfully random incidents: A former student made me a fantastic CD of Josh Ritter songs, which I pretty much listened to all day. A great friend who I haven’t spoken to in a couple of w

Lately the random comes more easily to me than the non-random, so here are more random bullets. Lily, knowing that she shouldn’t say a curse word, spelled out shit in a conversation the other day, the same way T and I spell things out when we d

instructors who complain about students (a rant)
Friday, 25 April 2008 8:37 P GMT-07
I mentioned in one of my Telecoop posts how irritated I become when instructors make disparaging comments about students, and this seems to be the point in the semester when many instructors feel the need to bash students. Oooooh, this makes me mad.

Dinner conversation yesterday at Anthony’s, a local pizza place: T: The TV, all the people, it’s a cacophony in here. Lily: It sure is. Me: Do you even know what a cacophony is? Lily (rolling eyes): Yes, it’s a loud and bad sound.

I posted my Comp 1 students' audio essays. I had hoped to post them a week or so ago, but I was out of file storage space on my blog, which leads me to thing #2 that I got done. . . . I opened a free account with MediaFire, a free file storing/sh

The end of the semester is in sight, which is both a good thing (I’m tired and would love to get caught up on sleep, not to mention I need to get my garden in order, finish Donald Hall’s memoir of life with Jane Kenyon, which I began a mo

Lily has always taken her sweet time about everything, beginning when she refused to be born on her due date and waited for an extra 15 days to come out. Lately, T and I have been joking with her that she gets her pace from the Irish in her (my mom&r
