    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.

    My husband and I moved into our current house in November 2007. We unpacked kind of haphazardly and just got used to things being the way they were. Slowly, we’ve been putting things where they actually make sense (like umbrellas being near the

    I’ve obviously taken a little blogging hiatus. By the end of the spring semester, my wrists were so sore that I just couldn’t type anything that wasn’t absolutely necessary. I knew I had two reports relating to committees I served o
