    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.

    Walter Nelson, 1941 - 2008

    Sunday, 30 November 2008 8:48 P GMT-07
    Walter was a good friend and I will miss him terribly. I met him when I began teaching at RRCC in 1995. I got to know him through the Writing Center, where we tutored together. Later, when I took over coordinating the Writing Center from him when he

    16 Random Things About Liz

    Wednesday, 26 November 2008 4:52 P GMT-07

    Thanksgiving changes

    Tuesday, 25 November 2008 7:32 P GMT-07
    This Thanksgiving marks a departure for me. For 8 of the past 13 years, I have hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for a sizable crowd; for the other 5 years, I spent Thanksgiving with the same group of close friends and family and did most of the cooking.

    don't hand in a "garbage paper" or buy online!

    Tuesday, 25 November 2008 8:28 A GMT-07

    can't decide if this is good or bad

    Monday, 17 November 2008 9:33 P GMT-07
    Reader reviews of three chapters of the manuscript are in . . . Amy and I should have them in a few days, and then, I'm sure, some major revising will be in order.

    truth walks toward us on the paths of our questions

    Saturday, 8 November 2008 12:19 A GMT-07
    “Truth walks toward us on the paths of our questions. . . . As soon as you think you have the answer, you have closed the path and may miss vital new information. Wait awhile in the stillness, and do not rush to conclusions, no matter how uncom

    RBOC, early November edition

    Friday, 7 November 2008 12:15 P GMT-07
    Yes, it’s come to this. More RBOC. I like Obama’s change.gov Webiste. With more people engaged in the election and transition process (as evidenced by high voter turnout—although in Colorado, it looks like voter turnout wasn’t
