    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.

    I'm totally new at this Second Life thing. It took me probably ten times longer than it should have to get my avatar to Orientation Island. But once I'm oriented, things should be easier. Of course, I'm doing this to figure out how to use it in my

    blog break almost over

    Saturday, 16 December 2006 1:36 P GMT-07
    So I’ve obviously taken a little blog break as I finish out the semester. Coming soon: the mysteries of ReindeerGate, a reflection on the semester, a rant about silly administrator tricks, and thoughts on what comes after a dissertation. Stay tuned.

    I may end up having my own dissertation defense hell story. My defense is scheduled for 9 a.m. today. It is 8:06, the campus is closed because of snow and ice, and I can’t get in touch with any of my committee members or anyone from the English
