    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.

    more on camtasia video

    Sunday, 28 October 2007 8:13 P GMT-07
    Joanna asked me how long it took to figure out how to do the camtasia video. It took less than an hour of bumbling/fumbling before I had the actual video with sound. As I said when I initially blogged about the video, I didn’t read the document

    I recorded my first camtasia video today!

    I recorded this for my Comp 2 students. There’s a little bit of silliness at the beginning which I later figured out how to edit out, but in the version I’ve posted here, the silliness is there because frankly I’m too tired right no

    Saturday, 20 October 2007 7:41 A GMT-07
    With my 20 year high school reunion looming (I’m not going), two former high school classmates emailed me. One I was very happy to hear from, but the other one really stumped me. Our friendship ended before high school even started—and it

    Pregnant and public property

    Wednesday, 10 October 2007 1:10 P GMT-07
    T pointed me toward this article about pregnant women and mothers. My favorite sections: “Strangers pester her with advice out of the blue. People may feel free to reach out and touch her stomach like it's become public property. If sh

    a little calm

    Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:16 A GMT-07
    The last couple of months have been grueling, but I managed to leave work on Friday without bringing home one speck of work and I have had a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Saturday I got up at 6 to make scones (whole wheat scones with candied ginger a

    why I can't seem to get any work done today

    Wednesday, 3 October 2007 12:35 P GMT-07
    I’m too distracted by Pulp Muppets. Fall is here and I want to go kick through piles of leaves. I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in over a week and am practically sleepwalking. A colleague just finished reading A Thousand Splen
