    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.

    writing crap & shitty first drafts

    Thursday, 22 January 2009 9:06 P GMT-07

    Lily on Blagojevich

    Tuesday, 6 January 2009 8:51 P GMT-07
    I’m probably not supposed to be proud of this kind of statement from my daughter, but come on, this is a pretty awesome line: “If Blagojevich was on McCain’s team, would Obama’s people call him Blagojebitch?” I think she

    Denver at 150 theme

    Sunday, 4 January 2009 11:57 P GMT-07
    Two of my classes this spring will revolve to some degree around the theme of Denver at 150, inspired by the exhibit by the same name at the Colorado History Museum. I’m assembling a list of online sources for students on the general history of
